If You Give a Cat a Cupcake

The author brings to life many different comical examples of what a cat would want to do if he had the opportunity to do anything he wanted. This book, along with the many others in the series are great for beginning readers.

This is a follow up to If You GIve a Mouse a Cookie, which is great too. I read this with 3rd graders and they were very entertained by it. When the cat gets a cupcake, he wants sprinkles, which leads to this and this and this. Each thing leads a cat to new things and before you know it, a cat has

a ton of wants which lead him back to getting another cupcake. It gets pretty silly, but the kids loved it and thought it was very funny. The illustrations are pretty cute too. Great for read aloud.

funny book kind of like "if u give a moose a muffin"

This book is best for children in first or second grade. It is about a cat who gets a cupcake, but keeps wanting something else with it. This is a good book to let students read by themselves that are just learning how to read. It is simple enough for them to read alone.

If you give a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it. When you give him the sprinkles, he might spill some on the floor. Cleaning up will make him hot, so you'll give him a bathing suit . . . and that's just the beginning!

This is a good sequence book to read with young children, it starts with a cat wanting a cupcake then wanting sprinkles and goes all around the world and back to the original story line. It is a fun picture book that could hold attention of young kids for a quick read-aloud to fill in extra time.

This book is part of a series of "if you give..." books. In this particular book, the main character is a cat. The book is about giving a cat a cupcake and watching his imagination grow. The book goes through many things that the cat will want to go with the cupcake. It talks about wanting

sprinkles and while waiting for them he will want to go to the beach where he will fill a sand bucket too heavy to pick up and so then he goes to the gym. The book just goes through things the cat will do. This is a cute book for children. I would use this book for children in kindergarten. I am not sure how or if this book could be tied into a lesson in the classroom.

If You Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff is a great book. I am in Early Childhood and I love the books Laura Numeroff writes. This book in particular follows the same structure as “Of You Give a Mouse a Cookie”. It starts with a little girl giving her cat a cupcake, then the cat needing

some sprinkles, then the cat needed a bathing suit, but then feeling like the cat needs to work out! I think this is an excellent book to share! The words are fairly simple and the text is predictable. The pictures are hilarious and help the readers understand what is going on. I can’t wait to read this book to a group of students. This book comes with an excellent website full of activities for students.

I like "If you give a mouse a cookie" better, but this was good also. The illustrations were a bit chaotic and maybe too much in some of the pictures, but that may have been the point. The story was fun and kept my interest.

"If You Give a Cat a Cupcake" follows the same format of all of the other "If You Give...Books" starting with a cat wanting sprinkles for his cupcake and finally ending with the cat asking to go to the museum. The illustrations add to the story because they visually show what the text is stating. A

Just as in the other books in this little series (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, etc.), this one is about an animal doing things that a person would do. A great read aloud for K-2. Kids will relate especially if they're familiar with the other books in this series.

I love this series - even though my kids are all grown up.

The kitty makes a mess and one thing leads to another but all is in fun.

This book is too precious not to be read. The colorful pictures and outlandish request made by the cat make this story a fun read. the predictable text makes it an asset to beginning readers.

This is a cute book, series. If you give the cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles... and the whole story goes on like this until the end he gets some more sprinkles..and chances are he'll ask for a cupcake, again! I like the pictures in this book too. This is just a cute book to read to your

This is a sequence book about what would happen if a person gave an animal certain things. It lists what would happen next until it circles back around to the original thought.

Giving cats cupcakes can lead from one thing to another. The outcome of the sequence of events is fairly predictable. It's a cute book that preschoolers would probably enjoy. The illustrations are not award-worthy, but they do compliment the story.

SEE 'If you give a mouse a cookie.'

The book follows the same theme of the original If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. The book takes you on an adventure and shows what happen if you give the cat a cupcake. The cat will always want more then what he has. This fun story takes you on a round trip from start to end. The book is a good read

This is a spinoff of the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." It is another great book. My kindergartners loved hearing this book as a read aloud. They thought that the cat was silly and liked that it was going in a circle. Definitely a great read aloud for children in lower elementary (K-2).

I didn't like "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake" nearly as much as "If You Give a Pig a Pancake," but children might enjoy the humor in it. Additionally, the story could be used in a Cause and Effects lesson or a sequencing lesson. A good read aloud book for younger children. The story begins with

Young readers will love the story's circular plot. Like all of the stories in this series, the story always takes the reader back to the beginning. A good story to develop prediction skills with the young ones.

This book follows the same format as the previous book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. It goes thorough all the events that come from giving a cat a cupcake. The events continue until they come back to the original idea.

If you Give a Cat a Cupcake is one of many books written like this by Laura Numeroff. I really enjoyed reading this book, it is adorable and draws you in every time. One reason I find this book so engaging is its story line, you never know where the story is going or where it will end up. Simply

giving the cat a cupcake lead to the gym, the beach, the park, and even the science museum. One big reason I love this book is its ability to be used as a read aloud. The way it’s written and printed leaves a teacher many opportunities to stop and get students thinking and engaged in the story. When he goes to the museum the sentence is stopped before the next page allowing you to ask “what does the cat see first at the museum?” This gives the teacher the ability to keep students on task and see if they are understanding what is being read. The main idea in this book is entertainment. It is cute and creative and it eventually comes back full circle, to the cupcake. It also leaves the possibility for a new story. This would be a great beginning to a writing lesson. You could have the children create a new set of scenarios the cat goes on after he is given a cupcake. What happens next? Is a valuable way to get students writing and thinking imaginatively.
