A wonderfully cute story about a little boy and a very needy mouse. Once the boy abides by the mouse's wishes once, it keeps asking for more and more!

A cute book about how giving a mouse one little cookie turns into getting him lots of other things all pertaining to incidents that happen after the mouse gets one little cookie.

This is a good book for interactive writing. The book does not have complicated vocabulary but it is a story that a children could easily imagine many sentences about. ( )

This story was about a boy who gives a mouse a cookie. After the boy gave the mouse a cookie the mouse wanted some milk. Then the mouse gave himself a haircut and got hair all over the floor. Then the mouse swept the floor and all the floors in the house. The boy decided to make the mouse a place to sleep. The mouse then became the boys pet. This story teaches children to not give food to different animals because the animals would probably want to be your pet.

This book shows students they do not need to want and want. It shows them they do not need to be too pushy with things they want because more than likely they won't get everything they want.

Book description

Amazon.com (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
