FANTASY: This novel is a good example of a fantasy because it allows animals to talk and solve problems. It also poses a problem and solves it though the deduction of animals, which also could not happen in reality. This book mixes human aspects (making cookies) with non human aspects (animals making them) and thus suspends reality for the reader in a way that causes them to be intrigued by the story at hand.

For a much younger audience this was a quick and fun little read. A tale of 'who done it?' style. It touches on not assuming and being able to ask tough questions. ( )

Good for in class rhyming lesson. ( )

This is a modern fantasy book about a group of animals who go searching for the animal that ate all of the cookie dough. After asking each animal in a fun way that children could chant along to, the animals discover it was the baby kangaroo, who was hiding, that ate the cookie dough.
