Book Cover & Preview Text
Did you and your friends ever have one of those days when you had all the time in the world to do whatever you wanted, but couldn’t think of anything to do? Bugbear and his friends were having a day just like that, and they were bored. They had no ideas of what to do, or where to go, or anything at all.
Bugbear finally let out a big sigh. “I’m so bored and this is silly,” he said. Surely we can come up with something fun to do!”
“You know, I love parties,” said Boxtroll. “We haven’t had one in a long time.
“Yes, a party with lots of cookies – what a great idea! We just better make sure we have tons of cookies there,” said Buster, already thinking about eating most of the chocolate chip ones.
Lilli knows how many cookies Buster can eat, so she said, “And who would bake enough cookies?”
Honeylips had been very quiet, deep in thought, until just now. “Wow, this is GREAT! What a great idea, this party! And even better – I am going to invent a COOKIE MACHINE to do all the baking. Oh boy, I’m excited now!” he almost shouted.
