Despite what is said here, this book is the Spanish translation of "If You Give Mouse A Cookie", not "If you Give A Moose A Muffin". koalamom | Jun 20, 2009 |   This is a silly book meant for lower grades. It is imaginative and allows for students to use their creativity to dream of things out of the ordinary. beadams | Apr 6, 2009 | a fun book about a moose and what he does after he gets a muffin! ashtonrice | Apr 2, 2009 | This book was a good example of a fantasy book because in real life a moose would not eat a muffin or talk. They cannot do these things but in this book the moose does. The moose also sewed on buttons and made puppets. This is not realistic. The boy in this story helps the moose get what he needs. The boy helps the moose get jam and more muffins. The moose in this story is a flat character because he does not change or grow in the story. He just stays the same. The art in this book looks life tempera paint with pen at places. Age Appropriateness: Primary, intermediate rbelknap | Feb 25, 2009 | This book is a good example of fantasy because a moose does not eat muffins, sew buttons, make puppets, or talk. In this book the boy offers a moose a muffin, and then he asks for jam, and ask for another muffin, eating them until they are all gone, and then.... The story continues on with the moose continually getting distracted by things that remind him of what they are doing. The moose in this story in the protagonist because he is the main character, and the most developed. The art in this book looks like it is paint and/or colored pencil and pen. I am having a hard time deciding because the fur on the moose looks like it is colored pencil, where other areas look like paint. madelinelbaker | Feb 17, 2009 | 0.072 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0060244054, Hardcover)"If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it." So begins the most logical silliness to be found anywhere--at least since Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond's If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Readers will follow a young boy and his voracious visitor through a series of antlered antics: jam reveries and puppet shows and big messes. It all makes perfect sense, really, once you stop to think about it. What moose wouldn't want to borrow a sweater when it's cold outside? And why shouldn't the loose button on the sweater remind him of his grandmother? Bond's cleverly detailed, witty illustrations perfectly complement Numeroff's deadpan style. Through just a few deft words and brush strokes, the reader gets a real sense of the unique personalities of the two characters. Children will relate easily to the full-circle reasoning of the story, while picking up the concept of cause and effect. The moral of the story? Keep plenty of muffin mix and blackberry jam in your cupboard. You never know who may drop by. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:54 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
