The Real Story

Sergio Ruzzier, illustrated by Sergio Ruzzier

Cat discovers a broken cookie jar and finds that every cookie has disappeared. Looking for an explanation, Cat asks Mouse what happened. Mouse responds with a succession of tall tales rather than a simple account of the missing cookies. The story turns the broken jar into a comic mystery between two animals, with mixed-media illustrations following Cat’s questions and Mouse’s increasingly elaborate explanations.
