Fortune Cookies by Albert Bitterman

A little girl receives a box in the mail with seven fortune cookies inside of it.  She eats one cookie a a day and read the fortune.  Amazingly, each day's fortune comes true in some way.

I usually do not care for novelty books -- the books that have lift-the-flaps, spinning wheels, or pull tabs.  However, this book is very well done.  The novelty of pulling out the fortune cookie is a pivotal part of the plot.  And the construction of the pull tabs is sturdy and holds up well for many repeat readings.  This is definitely a book worth checking out.
