"Cookie and Broccoli discover the joy of sharing secrets with friends"--

Book Synopsis

Best friends Cookie and Broccoli discover the joy of sharing secrets with friends in this sweet and funny early graphic novel.

Shh...Cookie and Broccoli's lips are sealed! That is, until the whole school happens upon Broccoli's hiding spot and overhears his super-secret nickname--and are much more encouraging than he expected. Then, Talking Rock gives the duo a cryptic clue to solving Broccoli's boredom--the solution is the opposite of boredom. Well, the opposite of boredom is the Funnest Thing Ever, right? Cookie and Broccoli try a silly screaming contest, a bubble-blowing party, and a real-life food pyramid, but the true Funnest Thing Ever might have been in front of them all along. And it's even more enjoyable when it's not a secret anymore!
