If you give a mouse a cookie, don't expect that to be the end of it. He needs milk, a glass, a straw and a whole lot more favors!

I've always loved the "If you give.." books. They are fun to read, and the illustrations are adorable.

I love how both Laua Joffe Numeroff's books leave you constantly waiting for the parent in the story to wander in and discover all the hi-jinx that have been taking place. You are just waiting for the 'What on Earth is going on in here?!' and although it never comes, the intricate and engaging

We had to buy it after we read it in the library :)

And it's still a favorite around here two years later!

It amazes me that this book is almost as old as I am, is of course considered a very popular classic, and yet - I never read it until I was an adult!

Given its age, I'm sure everybody *else* here

knows the plot, but just in case, this is a book about a (very logical, I'm sure) series of misadventures that happens after you give something to a mouse. Every request leads to another thing, and another, and another, until the poor boy in the story falls dead asleep.

This book is too cute, and it's funny, too, in a way that both adults and kids will appreciate.

Plus, it's short, which is great for those "Oh dear, go to BED already!" kind of nights!

This book is very humorous. I always asked the teacher to read it in elementary school. I thought it was hilarious every time the mouse asked for one more thing.
