If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

If a hungry little mouse shows up at your door, offering him a cookie will set off an increasingly elaborate chain of requests. The story follows a young boy as he fulfills the mouse's demands, from a glass of milk to a napkin, a mirror, and even a haircut. Each request leads naturally to another, creating a circular tale of cause and effect that builds to a humorous conclusion. With its spare, rhythmic text and cumulative structure, the book is perfect for beginning readers and story time.
