Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree is a 1977 Sesame Street Little Golden Book.

Cookie Monster finds a magical Cookie Tree in the forest. The witch who owns the tree doesn't want Cookie Monster eating all her cookies, so she casts a spell on the tree -- it'll now only give cookies to people who'll share them. Cookie Monster hurries back to Sesame Street to find someone to share cookies with, but all of his friends think he's kidding -- they know Cookie Monster would never share cookies.

This book is partially presented in comic book style, with some of the dialogue in word balloons.
