Bonnie Lass’ version of Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar? is a southwest party through the desert. Like Who Ate All the Cookie Dough, this story puts a new spin on the classic song.

Here’s a Who Took the Cookies craft. You can copy the pumpkin “cookie jar” on orange paper, then glue the animals to popsicle sticks to create a peek-a-boo craft.

If you’re thinking of storytelling with puppets, you’ll need:

• Pumpkin “cookie jar” prop
• skunk
• mouse
• raven
• squirrel
• rabbit
• turtle
• raccoon
• snake
• beaver
• frog
• ant
