If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Mini Book and CD If You Give...

Editorial Review
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. 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. Laura Joffe Numeroff's tale of warped logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator category. 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. Felicia Bond's hilarious pictures are full of subtle, fun details. 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. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

BOTTOM LINE:

Numeroff does it again!
Anyone who gives this less than 4 stars is a soulless android. There is NOTHING to not like about this book in a series of 'If you give a ...'! It is laugh out loud funny, great to read, and the pictures are cute and hilarious! The story has a nice touch of irony without forcing a MESSAGE.

I think its wonderful to have a children's book that is so clever and whimsical - hard to find one nowadays. Not only does my 6-yr old love it, but I love it myself. :-)

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

If you give a mouse a cookie is a fabulous book from the mouth watering food pictures, to the non-stop hilerious literature. I love the cute little mouse shown in every fantastic image. I would recommend this for ages 1 to 100. It starts out as a tiny mouse wanting a cookie, then wants more and more. A fun picture book, estatic is a great way to describe this grand piece of art.

This book "If you give a mouse a cookie" is a great childrens book! It"s one of Laura Numeroff's great books. Its appropriate for age groups k-5 and maybe younger. Its a book that has a little boy that offers a mouse a cookie then the mouse will keep asking for more and more stuff. It's a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat to see what the mouse will ask for next.

what does a mouse have to do with a cookie?!

2007-12-07
Even my little 3 yr old knows what!! This a a very fun book. The circular story makes it a hit, and the illustrations are great. We love the other books by this author as well: If You Give a Moose a Muffin ,is the ultimate best. Well, maybe it just depends on what animal you like to read about the most!

On the Bedtime Book Permanent Rotation

This is one of a few books that have made it to the kids bedtime book rotation. It's so cute and fun to read. Our children just love this book.

Great picture book

This is an excellent book about the different things that can happen when you give a mouse a cookie. This is a great book to read aloud to young children, as well as to use to teach organization of writing to older students.

This Is A Giggle Book

2007-10-28
This is the best book in a series of books that will make you smile and giggle throughout. I first read it to my daughter and when she got older read it to her brother. The pages were worn from all the reading. But I think that wear is a very good sign that the book is a winner. Plus reading it outloud makes the story even funnier.

Read this book with a child or without !!
