Illustrated by
Brita Granstrom.
Banned from the cookie tin for a week after gobbling too many cookies, Florence dreams up a series of amusing but unsuccessful schemes to wangle a cookie from her mother. Finally Mom relents somewhat, and they make chocolate-covered bananas together. Large, animated illustrations give the determined Florence (and her mother) a distinctive presence. A recipe for the bananas is included.
