This book is about a mouse who wants a lot of stuff. It talks about taking a mouse to the movies and then he will want some popcorn. The book is set around christmas because the mouse wants to make popcorn strings to put around the christmas tree. This is a good holiday book for young children in kindergarten or first grade. (

If You Take A Mouse to the Movies is the humorous tale of all the things a mouse would want if you took him to the movies and gave him popcorn. A great book to illustrate a sequence of events, in a lighthearted manner.
Laura Numeroff has an excellent website with lots of resources for teachers. http://www.lauranumeroff.com/index.ht...

This is a good example of fantasy because one of the main characters is a mouse. Also, the mouse goes to the movies and is friends with a human, which would most likely not occur in reality. (

Welcome to the hilariously hypothetical world of Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond. Everything has an impact on everything else in this world, so if you take a mouse to the movies, don't be surprised if you find yourself being run ragged by the exuberant little fellow's increasingly grand appetites. When we first met him in Numeroff and Bond's tremendously popular If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, he had more energy than a 2-year-old on lollipops. Now, in the excitement of the Christmas season, he's unstoppable. Going from movie theater to Christmas tree lot to the neighbor's yard for snowmouse-building, he's a very demanding mouse indeed--in only the best way, of course.

The freshness of the If You Give a... series is diminished only slightly as the sequels pile up. The dazed and earnest look on the face of the mouse's long-suffering friend makes a marvelous foil for the mouse's high-spirited expressions. Adult readers will chuckle as they recognize the ephemeral passions of a child, while children will simply love the unfolding chain of events. A perfect Christmas read-aloud for the impetuous youngster on your list. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
