A dinosaur shaped cookie speaks through speech bubbles and lets us know that he is not happy to be left off of the plate intended for Santa. The cookie sabotages other cookies’ chances of being on the coveted plate until guilt forces him to do the right thing.
This book will make very little sense if a reader doesn’t already know about the tradition of leaving cookies for Santa. It also makes very little sense to me why there was a cookie of dinosaur at all and how he ended up on top of the Christmas tree by the end of the story.
