Bookroo's summary
In kindergarten, Eliza faces an unexpected challenge: a guinea pig named Cookie. Unlike the sweet treats she loves, this Cookie has teeth, sparking Eliza's wild imagination. As her classmates embrace their furry friend, Eliza must confront her fears. Will she learn to see Cookie as more than a scary snack? With charming illustrations, this tale explores overcoming fears and making unexpected friends.
From the publisher
Miss Summer has a special treat for Eliza’s kindergarten class–a new pet guinea pig that the kids name Cookie. But Eliza doesn’t like this kind of cookie: “A cookie with teeth?” Eliza thinks. She knows that people eat chocolate chip cookies. But do chocolate chip cookies ever eat people? Child-friendly illustrations using acrylic paint by Nancy Speir add charm and appeal as Eliza overcomes her fear and makes friends with Cookie. This is the perfect book for those kids who feel squeamish around new pets.
