Loading... If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (1985)by Laura Joffe Numeroff, Felicia Bond (Illustrator)
None. Picture BookL If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll ask for a glass of milk. We learn about cause and effect as we see what happens when a mouse has a cookie. I would use this lesson for predicting what's going to happen next, and sequencing events. good for cause and effect. Student would love this book because they will want to make predictions about what happens next. This book is good for teaching students prediction, however it also is good for teaching them choices and consequences. The book is very straightforward in its title: "If you give a mouse a cookie" is about what happens if you do just that. Maybe it can be used to teach kids about thinking out their decisions before they make them. This book can be used for prediction because students will want to know what will happen if you give a mouse a cookie like the author states. The students would like it because of the humor of how the mouse goes crazy when you give him a cookie. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060245867, Hardcover)Who would ever suspect that a tiny little mouse could wear out an energetic young boy? Well, if you're going to go around giving an exuberantly bossy rodent a cookie, you'd best be prepared to do one or two more favors for it before your day is through. For example, he'll certainly need a glass of milk to wash down that cookie, won't he? And you can't expect him to drink the milk without a straw, can you? By the time our hero is finished granting all the mouse's very urgent requests--and cleaning up after him--it's no wonder his head is becoming a bit heavy. Laura Joffe Numeroff's tale of warped logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator category. But concerned parents can rest assured, there's even a little education thrown in for good measure: underneath the folly rest valuable lessons about cause and effect. Felicia Bond's hilarious pictures are full of subtle, fun details. Fans will be happy to know that this dynamic author-illustrator pair teamed up again for If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Give a Pig a Pancake. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:58:16 -0500) Relating the cycle of requests a mouse is likely to make after you give him a cookie takes the reader through a young child's day. |
