Cookie the Walker

Cookie is an unusual dog.  Having discovered the many advantages of walking on her hind legs (looking out of the window without climbing on chairs, reaching the candy bowl…) she also gets lots of attention and treats.  She is promoted by a dog trainer, joins a circus, and finally becomes a TV star.  As the demands for her time overcome her, she realizes she misses her old life.  Getting fired is a simple as walking on all four legs!  Coming home, Cookie’s life becomes more normal.  Now, when she stands on two legs, she is careful not to let anyone know.  The format of this book is engaging.  It is a combination of picture book and comic book with panels and conversation bubbles.  Watercolor and ink illustrations add amusing details of Cookie’s adventures and are well worth taking the time to notice.
