Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8)

Review

“A light confection as suited for use in preschool story hours for beginning readers.” — SLJ.

“The rhythmic text and circular logic of the award-winning If You Give series makes this a favorite for kids and grown-ups alike.” — Brightly

Laura Joffe Numeroff is the acclaimed #1 New York Times best-selling children's author of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” and the subsequent If You Give... series. First printed in 1985, “Mouse” is now beyond its 60th printing. The fourth book in the series, “If You Take a Mouse to the Movies” was on the New York Times Children’s Best Seller list for five months- nine weeks at number one.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Laura grew up as the youngest of three girls, surrounded by art, music, and books. She attended Pratt Institute and graduated with a degree in communications and a contract for her first children’s book, “Amy for Short,” published in 1975 by Macmillan.

In 2000, If You Give a Pig a Pancake” was featured on the Oprah show three times, and was recommended by Oprah’s first kids’ book club, as well as being noted as Oprah’s favorite children’s book of the year on her Christmas show. “Pig” was also on Publishers Weekly Bestseller List for over a year. In addition, the series has sold over 4.5 million copies, been printed in fourteen languages, and won the prestigious Quill Award in the picture book category.

An avid animal lover, Laura, with co-creator Sean Hanrahan, released "Raising a Hero," about a puppy learning to become a service dog and help children with disabilities and special needs. A portion of all sales supports Canine Companions for Independence, a non-profit providing skilled service dogs to children, adults and veterans with disabilities, free of charge.

President George W. Bush, First Lady Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton have all read Numeroff’s books to children. First Lady Michelle Obama, with her mother and two daughters Malia and Sasha, read Laura’s “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” at the 2010 Easter Egg Roll on the White House Lawn. Laura was one of ten children’s authors invited to a literacy day in Washington during the Bush administration in 2001. Laura has also visited over 100 elementary schools and has been a speaker at teacher conferences around the country.

In addition to her work with service dogs and kids with disabilities, Laura donates a portion of her book royalties to First Book, a non-profit organization that provides brand new books to children who otherwise would not have access to them. She donated all royalties from “The Hope Tree – Kids Talk About Cancer,” to the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Maybe this has been there for a while, but I certainly don’t remember seeing a board game in the back of the book. Love the idea and how it fits with the mouse making himself comfortable with repurposing household items, that now you get to repurpose other items and get another board game.

Too many children's books are printed in China these days which continues to be caught using toxic inks and dyes in products made there. This version of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie was printed in Italy and is lovely. I look forward to sharing it with our granddaughters.

I have bought this book for my children when they were young and I bought it this time for my 16 year old son who gave it to his girlfriend at Valentine’s Day with a box of cookies because she had never read the book as a child. By the way he also gave her flowers that day.

I was very pleased to see a refund only 1 week after the book had sold out. Very disappointed because it is a great book "If you give a mouse a cookie" and I was surprised to see it on this site. They sent a very nice kind detailed message which I didn't find until months later . Totally my fault because I just didn't understand where to find the message but just came across it by accident. Very grateful even though it was not an expensive item item it is the principal of having money returned for products not received. Very Stand Up company and would definitely order from them again.

As stated in the title, a childhood favorite that engages children and spurs them on to make up funny consequences for situtations outside of reading time.
