If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Book • 1985

This delightful picture book, written by Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond, relates the cycle of requests a mouse is likely to make after you give him a cookie.

The story takes the reader through a young child's day, showcasing the mouse's antics and the consequences of his requests.

It is a great introduction to the 'If You Give. . .

' series and is perfect for beginning readers and story time.
