Angry Cookie

“The book superbly evokes the roots of a child’s anger – insecurity, frustration, feeling unheard – and the realisation that the reader will listen, even when the Cookie is “a meanie moody moany mongoose”. * The Guardian *“With playful illustrations by Maria Karipidou, Dockrill’s debut picture book is bright and entertaining and delivers an important message.” * Mail on Sunday *“[…] a perfect book for talking about emotions, and has a lovely message about sticking around for your friends and loved ones, no matter how moody they are.” * BookTrust *“[…] an interactive, laugh-a-minute story and you won’t be able to help but love this angry little biscuit” * PictureBooksBlogger *“I’ve been waiting to get hold of it ever since I saw the initial press release […] I can’t wait to read this tonight” * Ultimate Girl Gang *
