Alliah Agostini: "The Ten Tins"

Shiny blue cookie tins promise a delicious bite. But what’s inside this one? A sewing kit? Old photos? Shiny car keys?

From Teta to Nai Nai, none of the grown-ups seem to know that tins are for cookies! Will this group of friends ever find their treat?

Based on the cultural phenomenon of putting random items in cookie tins, this paper-over-board picture book is a hilarious page turning read aloud, perfect for the holiday season or anytime reading.
