If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

  • About the Book
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Written by Laura Numeroff
Illustrated by Felicia Bond
Laura Geringer Books
Copyright 1985

What happens if you give a mouse a cookie?  I've been giving mice "cookies" in my garage and getting rid of the little guys.  BUT alas, in the creative world for children, a series of events happen that will intrigue the student reader while he/she is predicting the forthcoming events.  Numeroff creates such a simple, yet humorous story line that begs the adult reader to engage their students and/or child with questions about the future ("What do you think will happen next?") and discuss the cause and effect relationship elements on each page.
