This book belongs to the Puffin Young Readers series for little readers.

This book seems almost entirely based on that childhood rhyme “Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?”

With clean, non-fussy illustrations that convey the point just perfectly, this book makes for a good starter book for beginners.

I think Squirrel stole the cookies from the cookie jar.

Who, me, did you say?

Not me. No way!

I think Turtle stole the cookies from the cookie jar.

Oh no! Not true!

But here is a clue.
