Crunch Time In Cookie Land: With Snicker The Doodler

Tick-tock! It’s Crunch Time in Cookie Land!

In this sweet and silly story, Snicker the Doodler—a cheerful snickerdoodle with a bow tie and a love of doodling—takes readers on a magical adventure through time itself.

When strange things start happening in Cookie Land, Snicker gathers the Crunch siblings—Peewee, Coco, and Lemon—for a journey that’s full of surprises, riddles, and unexpected lessons about what time really means. Along the way, they meet mysterious characters (like Father Time himself!), travel through enchanted lands, and discover that laughter might just be the most powerful force of all.
