Fortune Cookies

It's kind of a dumb book, but it's interactive which is kind of cool. It's kind of like a pop-up book, with fortune cookies on a lot of the pages that you pull out like tabs to read them.

Basically, a girl gets a box with seven fortune cookies and interprets them as having come true even though they don't really make any sense. "On Monday, my fortune said: Money is like the wind. And guess what? ...I bought a kite." What? You just... You bought a kite because your fortune said money is like the wind? Or what? Cause and effect are kind of reversed there. So she finds a cat, and then it says "Don't hide your feelings," and then her cat disappears and she cries. And then it says, "Good things come to those who wait," so she builds a fort. And then she wishes on a shooting star and her cat comes back with seven kittens, so she names them after the days of the week. The end!

Grrr. It makes it seem like fortune cookies are real, but it doesn't explicitly say that. Instead of saying her fortune came true, it just says, "And guess what?" But the message basically boils down to fortune cookies being real. The book itself isn't very interesting. If it didn't have the pull-out fortune gimmick, I don't think anybody would be giving it a second glance.
