About the Book
We all love surprises. This is a story about Cookie the Chookie who loved surpries too. Her daily surprises of finding a worm, seeing the egg she laid, and enjoying Sam's visits when he brought her a milk thistles were all good surprises. However she wished for another kind of surprise. She wanted to have some baby chickens. Sometimes we have to wait a while for our wishes to come true. Cookie, just like us, had to wait for her best surprise to happen. How long did she have to wait? It was worth the wait when her beautiful fluffy chickens hatched.
