Cookiesaurus Rex may not be your usual holiday treat, but he has plenty of Christmas spirit. He would like nothing more than to make it onto Santa's cookie plate. After all, the Big Guy should have only the best cookie to take back to the North Pole. But Mr. Spatula chooses Star, then Bell, and finally Gingerbread Boy. . . WAIT ONE STINKIN,' STOMPIN' MINUTE! Looks like Cookiesaurus Rex is going to have to take matters into his own tiny arms. Will his Christmas dreams come true, or will his holiday dreams be crumbled?
Praise for Cookiesaurus Rex:
"Ford's bright and funny illustrations perfectly complement Dominy and Evans' tongue-in-cheek text. The cheeky dino is full of personality and spunk, and his facial expressions are priceless . . . Have cookie dough and frosting ready, as kids are sure to want to try their own hands at decorating after a few laugh-filled rereads." — Kirkus Reviews

      A table full of cookie cutters and an empty plate for Santa, seen from above, set the stage for the return of Cookiesaurus Rex after his eponymous debut (2017).All of the cookies--bell, star, gingerbread boy, and the reptilian, self-described "King of All Cookies"--hope to be picked for Santa's plate. But it's Cookiesaurus who takes issue with the baker, whose hand moves everyone but him. He points out that "it's not fair. Dinos have Christmas spirit too!" He does everything he can to be included, including pole-vaulting to the plate with a candy cane (and spilling the milk), but the hand keeps putting him back on the tray. Cookiesaurus' snarky dialogue, delivered in speech bubbles, provides the humor that moves this adventure along: "Me! Pick Me!... / ...What's so special about Star? Is it because she twinkles? Because I can tinkle too...I mean TWINKLE!" After a great deal of effort, he finally gets put on the plate, but all of the others have fallen in the process. The fear that he'll be put on Santa's "Naughty List" compels him to put the others back on the plate. After one last outburst ("Wait one stinkin', stompin' minute!"), he's rewarded in the end. Colorful illustrations bring the expressive cookies to life; the hand that wields "Mr. Spatula" is white.For kids who like to have a little rambunctious, sloppy fun with their Christmas baking. (Picture book. 3-6)

      In his second adventure, Cookiesaurus Rex, the self-proclaimed “King of All Cookies,” is iced up to look like Santa and believes he deserves a spot on the plate of the “Big Guy.” Ford’s comical art shows Cookiesaurus Rex peering over a table edge and pleading with the cookie maker (readers see only the figure’s hand, holding a spatula). “What’s so special about Star? Is it because she twinkles? Because I can tinkle too... I mean twinkle!” After the dino removes the competition, Cookiesaurus makes it to the plate, and then makes amends before finding a front and center spot on his new home. Readers are sure to relish this cookie’s attention-seeking antics and unwavering confidence. Ages 3–5.
