Watch the Cookie! — Nancy Cote

Sam and Mousey are best friends, and Mousey is always looking up to Sam and following his lead. They do everything together and share everything, too. So when Sam surprises Mousey with a big chocolate chip cookie, they can't wait to split it. Unfortunately, Sam really has to go and he has to go NOW! "Watch the cookie. I'll be right back," he tells Mousey. Mousey diligently watches the cookie, but it turns out that he isn't the only one. Pigeons come pecking and ants come marching. Mousey does his best to shoo them away, but it's only when he yells in his loudest voice that he can scare them off. Just when Mousey thinks he has saved the cookie, a hungry cat appears -- and this cat isn't hungry for a cookie.
