Book Synopsis

Incluso las amistades más profundas atraviesan momentos difíciles, pero un amigo de verdad siempre encuentra una solución (¡specialmente cuando hay galletas de por medio!). Un libro delicioso e inteligente, traducido al español por su autora.

Bookie y Cookie son mejores amigos. Les encanta pasar tiempo juntos, leyendo y comiendo galletas. Pero siempre se juntan en casa de Cookie... hasta el día en que Bookie insiste en quedarse en su casa. Cookie se niega; no quiere probar nada nuevo. Así que ahora Bookie y Cookie están cada uno por su lado, y las cosas que solían hacer juntos ya no son tan divertidas. ¿Podrán los dos amigos atreverse a probar cosas nuevas para salvar su amistad?

Even the best friendships have rough moments, but a true friend will always find a way to compromise (especially when cookies are involved!) - a scrumptious and clever read-aloud, translated into Spanish by the author.

Bookie and Cookie are best friends. They love to spend time together, reading books and snacking on treats. But whenever this happens, it's always at Cookie's home . . . until the day when Bookie insists on getting together at his home instead. Cookie refuses: He doesn't want to try something new. And now Bookie and Cookie are both alone, and the activities they used to enjoy together aren't nearly as much fun. Can the two buddies each try something new for the sake of their friendship?

Review Quotes

"Gómez's trademark illustrations and meta-textual narrative depict the individual personalities and apartments, as well as the connection between the two main characters. The book encourages readers to try new things, reflect before making decisions, and expand beyond their comfort zones sometimes--even outside the pages of the book. The bold illustrations with white backgrounds and its minimal text make this a good pick for beginning readers and an excellent read-aloud for toddler storytimes. A good purchase for picture book collections. These characters will charm kids in both languages.--School Library Journal
