Guest Post-Palooza-The Runaway Cookies

 

As a part of the Flannel Friday is four celebration, I am guest hosting Jane's post below. 

Attributed to The San Diego County Kindergarten Club, from the book Storytelling with the Flannel Board, by Dr. Paul Anderson, this was another of my earliest flannel stories.

There is another version, see Flannel Friday, The Runaway Cookie Parade:
