What does the future hold for these two friends? They have lots of guesses that are a very funny mix of excitement and anxiety. But the only way to know for sure is to actually turn the page!

In this companion to Bookie & Cookie, the friends find themselves on a blank page, wondering what might be next. Bookie imagines something wonderful such as a bright sunny day, but Cookie worries that it might be something terrible, like an awful stormy day. "We might find a field full of butterflies," Bookie suggests, but Cookie is afraid it might instead be a marsh full of mosquitoes! Will Bookie ever be able to convince his nervous friend to turn the page and find out? A delightful surprise is waiting there.

Bookie and Cookie Turn the Page is the follow-up to the popular picture book by Blanca Gomez, and it’s just as charming as the first. In this story, Bookie and Cookie notice how dull their current pages are and start to wonder what might be waiting for them if they actually turn the page.

What I Liked: The best part of this book is the relationship between the two main characters. They are total opposites, which is exactly what makes their friendship work so well. Cookie is the pessimist and the worrier of the group; he’s really concerned that something bad might be lurking on the next page. On the other hand, Bookie is full of wonder and imagination, totally eager to jump into the next adventure

The illustrations are absolutely adorable, especially the scenes where Bookie is imagining what comes next. Those sections look like a child drew them with crayons, and it’s just so endearing to look at.

Overall, Bookie and Cookie Turn the Page is a sweet picture book that shows how books can take you on an unexpected adventure. It’s a story that any book lover—from toddlers all the way up to adults—will really enjoy.
