Dr Seuss’ What Pet Should I Get Animal Cookies
Having a new Dr Seuss book come out is like having all the holidays all at once. Overload of absolute un-contained excitement! This is a rare happening (I think one more manuscript may have been found?) so I needed to celebrate. When I think of growing up, I think of those animal cookies from President’s Choice (in Canada). These unfortunately don’t taste like them (or maybe it’s the texture?). But that’s ok- they’re still a super tasty cookie. What makes them special is cutting them out in Dr Seuss character shapes, like the fish or the cat. So don’t forget to watch the video on how I made them!
