Sam and Mousey are best friends, and Mousey is always looking up to Sam
and following his lead. They do everything together and share
everything, too. So when Sam surprises Mousey with a big chocolate chip
cookie, they can't wait to split it. Unfortunately, Sam really has to go
and he has to go NOW! "Watch the cookie. I'll be right back," he tells
Mousey. Mousey diligently watches the cookie, but it turns out that he
isn't the only one. Pigeons come pecking and ants come marching. Mousey
does his best to shoo them away, but it's only when he yells in his
loudest voice that he can scare them off. Just when Mousey thinks he has
saved the cookie, a hungry cat appears--and this cat isn't hungry for a
cookie.
Watch the Cookie! is a delightful storybook about bravery and
friendship. Nancy Cote's loyal little mouse is sure to capture the
hearts of young readers everywhere. With adorable illustrations and
silly narration, Cote has made Watch the Cookie! a truly fun read for
all.
Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is
proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers--picture books
for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and
novels for young adults. Our list includes bestsellers for children who
love to play Minecraft; stories told with LEGO bricks; books that teach
lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more.
While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller
or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are
sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find
a home.
