"If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk..."
If a hungry little traveler shows up at your house, you might want to give him a cookie. If you give him a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. 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...
The consequences of giving a cookie to this energetic mouse run the young host ragged, but readers of all ages will come away smiling at the antics that tumble like dominoes through the pages of this delightful picture book.
This book is a great first introduction to Mouse, the star of the 'If You Give...' Series, and a perennial favorite among children. With its spare, rhythmic text and circular tale, 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie' (1985) is perfect for beginning readers and story time. Sure to inspire giggles and requests to "read it again!"
The award-winning If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, one of the most beloved children’s books of all time, is from the #1 Best-Selling team Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond.
