Snitcher, Snatcher, Cookie Catcher
Snitcher, Snatcher, Cookie Catcher is based on a true happening in the author’s household. The cookies that were saved for a party are gone! Who ate the cookies? It surely must be those three cookie-loving boys, Mom is certain. Who else could it be? Find out in this tale of the search for the cookie thief. Delightful rhyming cadence and bold alliterations unfold the story to a surprising ending! “Bobby, Bailey, Bertie brothers! Who ate cookies from the pail? Presto, pronto, prompt confession, Or to bed you all will sail!” is an example of the easy reading style. Beautiful illustrations by Lavona Keskey add zest and sparkle to the story.
