About the author

Barbro Enskog was born in Bromma, Stockholm. She graduated from art school in 1958 and has been writing books for publication since 1965. Her style has exerted a major influence on Swedish children's literature. Located between realism and surrealism, her works are humorous and imaginative, and her books for children treat important issues to be taken seriously and treated for children.
Early in her career Barbro Lindgren won the 1973 Astrid Lindgren Prize, an annual Swedish literary award distinct from the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. The once-in-a-lifetime award established on Astrid Lindgren's 60th birthday honours good writing for children or youth. Barbro Lindgren's long-time collaborator, the illustrator Eva Eriksson (born 1949), won the Prize in 2001.

Reviews

[Maren Prestegaard]

I didn't like this book. Sam is mean to the dog. "Dumb doggie." Matt actually rolled his eyes and asked if we could throw it away.

This book is about Sam and his dog who wants to eat Sam's cookie. I like that this book is good for starting readers and I also like that Sam gets so mad when things go wrong. But I think he shouldn't get so mad that he pulled the dogs ear which hurt the dog. Then the dog got so mad that he wanted to hurt Sam. I didn't like that Sam did not share. - G, 6yo

Max äter en kaka och hunden kommer

Sam has a cookie. He lets his dog take the cookie. His mom comes and yells at the dog and gives Sam another cookie.

I picked this up because I liked the illustration, but my humble opinion is that Sam is spoiled and if he doesn't want the dog taking his cookies, he shouldn't be eating them at dog level. :)

my little 14month old daughter just loves this book.
I add some more to it as I read it. don't like how simple it is written as I think it prevcent children from speaking properly.
But she just loves the pictures and at the moment we read it 10 times a day.

This is a story about a boy, a cookie and a dog. You know what happens already, don't you.

[Mirjam]

I laughed a deep belly laugh on the "dumb doggie!" page. The true essence of toddlerhood, with simple yet expressive drawings.

[Noni Smith]

My absolute favorite book when I was little. I memorized it! ha ha

This same story plays out at my house about 5 times a day. What a cute book.

[Natalie]

One of my son's favorites! Easy read. My infant son likes the pictures, and my toddler kids can read it to him. Win, win!

My dog, Chico, stole a cookie out of the hand of my grandson. So, needless to say, this was his favorite book for years. He still enjoys it, at 15🥰.
