Angry Cookie by Laura Dockrill

2.0

Cookie is angry. Very angry. And there is nothing you can do about it, so please close the book and leave him alone. Hmm, perhaps he will explain why he is so angry if you insist on sticking around. From an obnoxious roommate who plays the same song over and over on her recorder to a botched haircut to a pigeon who tries to nibble on his head, Cookie has a lot of reasons to be mad. It turns out talking about his terrible day makes him feel better, though, and by the end of the book he isn't so angry anymore. The idea behind this brightly illustrated picture book is valuable, but the execution falls a bit flat. The book gets of to a slow start, and crude humor may turn off some adult readers. The book will circulate thanks to the eye-catching cover, but there are stronger titles available that tackle the topic of anger in a fun way.
