Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar?

Along the way, readers will discover what each animal’s favorite snack is. 

Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar will delight young readers. As Skunk talks to each of his friends, they follow him and discover the surprising cookie thief. Using the colors of the desert, the picture book puts a spotlight on Skunk as he follows the clues — a cactus with teeth marks, paw prints, and cookie crumbs. 

Even though Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar is a simple story, young readers will want to read it again and again. Following Skunk as he looks for the cookie thief is a lot of fun, even if you’ve read the book before. The story’s cadence, repetition, and animal dialogue make this picture book perfect for reading aloud. Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar? is a cute story that reinforces the importance of sharing and can be paired with the picture book The Cookie Fiasco by Dan Santat.
