if you give a mouse a cookie tells the story of a little boy who gives a mouse a cookie, who then wants a glass a milk, but then he wants a straw and a napkin when he's finished. when he looks in the mirror to see if he has a milk mustache he sees a hair that needs to be cut. the mouse goes from cutting his hair to cleaning the whole house and then wanting to take a nap. the bedtime story he asks you to read will remind him to draw a picture of his family which he will want to put on the fridge. the fridge will remind him that he is thirsty for milk and then he will want a cookie to go with it. this is such a good story about how children are. the little mouse reminds me of children and how they go from one thing to another. i really like the face of the mouse. they are really cute. i would recomend this book to everyone but especially to those with small children that like to do everything. i see no problem with this book.
