What happens when a little cookie gets up on the wrong side of bed?

Prepare to fall absolutely in love with this irresistible cookie, crumbly chocolate chips and all. OH NO! Barbra the cactus won’t stop playing her recorder, the yummy strawberry toothpaste has run out, and now – to top it all off – Cookie has to have his hair cut! Which all makes for one VERY ANGRY little cookie... But perhaps you, the reader, can find a way to turn his grumpy frown upside down? This wildly inventive, interactive, laugh-out-loud tale brings Laura Dockrill's one-of-a-kind voice and Maria Karipidou's hilarious illustrations to the Walker list.

Laura Dockrill (poet, author, illustrator) is a graduate of the Brit School of Performing Arts. At the age of 22, she was named one of The Times’ "Top Ten Literary Stars".

Book Features:
  • A picture book comedy with a big heart. Angry Cookie shows us that if you share your frustrations with a friend, you'll feel better. A problem shared is a problem halved…
  • One for fans of Mo Willems’ wild and wonderful humour, and of Jory John and Lane Smith’s Penguin Problems.
