With its spare, rhythmic text and circular tale, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is perfect for beginning readers and story time. series and a perennial favorite among children. This book is a great first introduction to Mouse, the star of the If You Give. He'll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache, and then he'll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim. And if you give him a cookie, he'll ask for a glass of milk. If a hungry little mouse shows up on your doorstep, you might want to give him a cookie. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) -Emilie Coulter From the Back Cover:īook Description Library Binding.
Fans will be happy to know that this dynamic author-illustrator pair teamed up again for If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Give a Pig a Pancake. Felicia Bond's hilarious pictures are full of subtle, fun details. But concerned parents can rest assured, there's even a little education thrown in for good measure: underneath the folly rest valuable lessons about cause and effect. Laura Joffe Numeroff's tale of warped logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator category. For example, he'll certainly need a glass of milk to wash down that cookie, won't he? And you can't expect him to drink the milk without a straw, can you? By the time our hero is finished granting all the mouse's very urgent requests-and cleaning up after him-it's no wonder his head is becoming a bit heavy.
Who would ever suspect that a tiny little mouse could wear out an energetic young boy? Well, if you're going to go around giving an exuberantly bossy rodent a cookie, you'd best be prepared to do one or two more favors for it before your day is through.
