If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

By Laura Joffe Numeroff and Illustrated by Felicia Bond

NY Times Bestseller List

What will happen if you give a mouse a cookie? You will be as worn out as the young, well-intentioned boy in this popular picture book. He begins by giving the mouse the cookie, and of course, the mouse then wants a glass of milk, then a straw, then a napkin, ….you get the idea.

Felicia Bond’s illustrations add to the characters’ appeal. The little mouse is wearing overalls and is a very animated character. The drawn details in each of the scenes gives the story depth and keeps the story interesting.
