Reach for this book when your little one is struggling with the 'gimme' phase or when 'please' and 'thank you' seem to have vanished from their vocabulary. It is a lighthearted way to address impulse control and the social nuances of asking for what we want. The story follows Alfie, a young alligator who is so desperate for a cookie that he tries every trick in the book: disguises, sneaking, and grabbing: to get his hands on a treat. Through his funny failures, children see that persistence is great, but politeness is the real key to success. This is an ideal pick for preschoolers and early elementary students who are learning to navigate boundaries and household rules. It turns a potential lecture on manners into a shared laugh over a relatable, cookie-loving character.
