First sentence: My phone rang. “Hello, this is Koko Dodo’s Cookie Shop. Koko Dodo speaking! What are you telling me?” I said. “How-dee, neigh-bor,” said a robot voice. “Would you like to—” “Wait just a minute!” I interrupted. “Is this one of those robocalls?” “What is a ro-bo-call?” asked the robot voice. “You know! One of those awful calls where you answer the phone and all you hear is a recording and the recording wants to sell you something.”
Premise/plot: Koko Dodo our cookie chef has a BIG DEAL problem. Didi Dodo steps up (again) to help. The problem??? Well, a Robo-Dodo has opened up a cookie shop right next door. And all of Koko's regular customers are being swayed by the price. Robo-Dodo is luring customers with a gimmick. ALL YOU CAN EAT COOKIES for only one penny. The cookies, well, they don't taste good. But ALL YOU CAN EAT of something you can barely stomach for just ONE PENNY. It's proving irresistible...
Koko and Didi must team up to figure out what to do next....but another BIG DEAL problem may be heading their way...
My thoughts: This book was just a JOY to read. I loved it so much. I have loved both Didi Dodo books so much. There's just so much silliness.
Highly recommend this author.
