The titular cookie runs off the page at a bookstore storytime, pursued by young listeners and literary characters. Following on 13 previous How To Catch... escapades, Wallace supplies sometimes-tortured doggerel and Elkerton, a set of helter-skelter cartoon scenes. Here the insouciant narrator scampers through aisles, avoiding a series of elaborate snares set by the racially diverse young storytime audience with help from some classic figures: "Alice and her mad-hat friends, / as a gift for my unbirthday, / helped guide me through the walls of shelves-- / now I'm bound to find my way." The literary helpers don't look like their conventional or Disney counterparts in the illustrations, but all are clearly identified by at least a broad hint or visual cue, like the unnamed "wizard" who swoops in on a broom to knock over a tower labeled "Frogwarts." Along with playing a bit fast and loose with details ("Perhaps the boy with the magic beans / saved me with his cow...") the author discards his original's lip-smacking climax to have the errant snack circling back at last to his book for a comfier sort of happily-ever-after. A brisk if bland offering for series fans, but cleverer metafictive romps abound. (Picture book. 6-8)COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
