This Halloween, best friends Cookie and Broccoli revel in funny tricks and sweet treats in this early graphic novel that's all about the true meaning of bravery and not judging others before you get to know them.
In the first story, Broccoli's not a fan of his classmates' scary Halloween pranks, so his best buddy Cookie loans Broccoli his superhero costume-because Super Broccoli isn't afraid of anything! That is, until the ultimate fright has Broccoli fleeing for the big, scary woods behind their school, where he comes across someone in a Sasquatch costume. (It is just a costume . . . right?) Then, in the second story, Cookie and Broccoli's classmates learn an important lesson about scaring others and making assumptions about newcomers (yes, even big, hairy Sasquatches). And in the final story, Cookie has to choose between his friends or his obsession with Halloween candy!
Fans of early graphic novel series like Pizza and Taco and Narwhal and Jelly will adore this latest book in the Cookie & Broccoli series, which is chock-full of punny costumes (a garlic dressed like a vampire, anyone?), silly asides from the duo's good friend Blueberry, and even a fun Halloween-themed activity for readers at the end of the book.
