If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"This is classic for little kids because they really love the way the story comes full circle. Our children are around 30 years old and still remember how much they enjoyed this at an early age. We have given this book to parents with young kids many times and it is always a welcome addition to their libraries." Amazon Review Here is the full text of the book: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of
milk.
When you give him the milk, he’ll probably ask you for a straw.
When he’s finished, he’ll ask for a
napkin.
Then he will want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a milk mustache.
When he looks into the mirror, he might notice his hair needs a trim. So he will probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.
When he’s finished giving himself a trim, he’ll want a broom to sweep up. He’ll start sweeping. He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house. He may even end up washing the floors as well!
When he’s done, he’ll probably want to take a nap. You will have to fix a little box for him
with a blanket and a pillow. He’ll crawl in, make himself comfortable and fluff the pillow a few times.
He’ll probably ask you to read him a story. So you’ll read him one from one of your books, and he’ll ask to see the pictures. When he looks at the pictures, he’ll get so excited he’ll want to draw one of his own. He’ll ask for paper and crayons.
He’ll draw a picture. When the picture is finished, he’ll want to sign his name with a pen. Then he’ll want to hang his picture on your refrigerator. Which means he will need... scotch tape.
He’ll hang up his drawing and stand back to look at it. Looking at the refrigerator will
remind him that he’s thirsty. So... he’ll ask for a glass of milk.
And chances are if he asks for a glass of milk, he’s going to want a cookie to go with it.
