The Cookie Jar Adventure

A Preschool Story in Rhyme

When my oldest daughter was small, she woke up early one morning thinking about the cookies that were in her dream. An idea formed in her mind. She woke her little sister and they sneaked to the cookie jar in the kitchen to have cookies for breakfast.

Years later, I wrote this little story poem for preschool children about the incident.

It’s an adventure story in rhyme with an easy rhythm. This makes it fun and easy for the little ones to memorize.

The Cookie Jar
A Preschool Adventure

Wakey-wakey from our beds,
thoughts of cookies in our heads.

Mommy-Daddy's eyes are closed.
(They are sleeping. They won't know).

Hurry-hurry, on the double!
If they wake, we'll be in trouble!

Blankies, pillows, on the floor.
Squeaky-squeaky goes the door.

Shhh, shhh, tippy-toe.
To the kitchen we will go.

Sneaky-sneaky down the hall,
bare feet creeping 'long the wall.

C'mon, Sissy, it's not far,
there it is, the cookie jar!

I can't reach it, I'm too small.
Let's get a chair to make us tall.

Shuffle-shuffle, scooty chair,
pushy-pushy, almost there.

Sissy, Sissy, here we are!
I can reach the cookie jar!

Clinky-clinky goes the top.
Shhh, hold it tight or it will drop.

Giggle, giggle, tee-hee-hee,
two for YOU, and two for ME.

Uh oh, Sissy, turn around ...
Mom and Daddy. We've been found.

Peeky-peeky, Mom and Dad,
are you angry? Are you mad?

Whisper-whisper, over there ...
they want to know if we will share!
