If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by: Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrated by: Felicia Bond


Ages 3-7

Everyone knows that if you give a mouse a cookie…well, he will end up wanting a glass of milk. This mouse requests that and more. He needs a napkin, a mirror, nail scissors, a broom, and the fun continues as one event triggers other thoughts and events. Eventually he is reminded that he is thirsty and wants a glass of milk again. And what goes better with milk than…a cookie?!

This book is very entertaining and a great story for both children and adults! The words are easy to follow and the bright, colorful illustrations are creative and closely track the story. There is one adventure after another. This makes the story easy for children to understand. As the mouse demands more and more, it allows for children to relate to some of the activities present in the book. The story teaches children responsibility, and to learn not to be greedy. Readers will come away smiling at the antics throughout the pages of this colorful picture book. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a cute book that never gets boring and will make you laugh every time you read it!
