Everyone knows that horses eat hay and cows eat cookies?  This is a cute book of farmyard animals and what they do (and maybe shouldn't) eat.

Handy Manny and his tools save the day-- and the cookies, too!  An early reader book.

Bean Dog and Nugget: The Cookie by Charise Mericle Harper - 45 pages

Charise Mericle Harper has written one of my all-time favorite picture books - Cupcake - so I was excited to find that she was writing a series of very easy graphic novels for young children.  These books show her slightly odd sense of humor which I love. 
In The Ball, Bean Dog and Nugget try to get a lost ball out of a bush by throwing in their shoes and then attacking it as a superhero and ninja.  In The Cookie, Nugget tricks Bean Dog into thinking she has an invisible donut. 
I thought The Cookie was the better of the two books.  The snarky comments between the two characters reminds me of me and my friends.  I hope more of these books are published.
