If You Give a Moose a Muffin If You Give... :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
If a big hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. When he's eaten all your muffins, he'll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix. In this hilarious sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young readers will delight in the comic complications that follow when a little boy entertains a gregarious moose."From the first toss of a muffin to the final scene in which the day's activities culminate in a messy array and the story comes full circle, readers gladly follow a moose and . . . young boy in this lively sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Numeroff presents the energetic sequence of events in stream-of-consciousness fashion . . . just the right springboard for Bond's distinct, pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings. Librarians will have trouble keeping this book on the shelf." ?SLJ.

A very good book for a grand daughter. We have three of them, so what one more good book Numeroff wrote to add.

ABSOLUTE FAVE!

This is my oldest son's absolute favourite! The book is entertaining, time and time and time again. I enjoy the antics in it, and he does too. It is a circle story that you'll want to read over and over and over and over!

Great illustrator!

I love this series as much as my son. This is his favorite one. The text is okay (same with the other books)--I make up all kinds of words as I go along since my son is only 2. The illustrations are what make it great (same with others), full of clever details. They also tell their own mini story. In this one, mom is outside gardening while the craziness happens inside, and there's "tension" in the end when mom almost sees the moose. Cute!

Moose Muffin is a big hit at our house!

I have two boys ages 5 and 3. They love this book. It is funnier than any of the other books in the series. Also, the illustrations are great. I find myself laughing along with the kids. I definately reccomend this one!!

Fun to read. We laughed out loud.

I bought three of these "If You Give...." books at the same time, and they are hysterical. My four year old grandson loves them and my daughter and I laughed as we read them. I'm so glad I found these.

Grandchildren loved it!

My daughter wrote me to tell me that the grandchildren made her read this book three times in a row and that my youngest grandson fell asleep holding the book! She said that they loved it--and that they laughed and laughed! High praise for any book!

This is another cute story that was sent in great condition. Love the variety with each story presented by the author.

Numeroff + Bond = Awesome team!

BOTTOM LINE:

Cannot recall in recent memory an author and illustrator that made such hilarious children's books! Numeroff's characters breathe life into a normal child's day a'la 'Cat in the hat' - causing situations that range from silly to sometimes bordering on the bizarre! The results are always hilarious and always come full circle. Overall, these books are fun to read, fun to look at, and just pure, magical whimsy.
Love that.

If You Give a Moose a Muffin is a childrens story recommended for ages 5-7
Like the classic If You give a Mouse a Cookie, it starts out with a little boy giving a muffin to a moose who just happens to be right outside his house, and then the moose asks for more and more stuff, such as blackberry jam, socks, sweaters, and one or two more muffins. All persons over the age of 7 probably will NOT find this read particularly enjoyable unless reading to a younger child.
