Book Review: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a story that every parent can relate to. A young boy tends to a small mouse who seems to find one distraction after another in his very busy day. The boy now sees life from the perspective of a parent as he is literally exhausted from spending the day entertaining his little companion by fulfilling his every desire. This humorous accounting of what all parents go through with their children is just adorable. A must read for every preschool child and parent!

Summary of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
When a hungry little traveler drops by, a cookie leads to a glass of milk, and that leads to all sorts of fun and surprises in this delightful new interactive storybook. The ingenious CD-ROM invites children to read, color, sing, and follow their favorite mouse from one fun-filled project to the next. Features two original songs with a performance by The Cookettes. System Requirements: CD-ROM drive; 386DX or higher; MS-DOS 5.0 or later; Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11; 4MB RAM; 5MB free disk space; keyboard and Microsoft compatible mouse; SVGA; 640x480 resolution; 256-color; soundboard and speakers.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. Fans will be happy to know that this dynamic author-illustrator pair teamed up again for If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Give a Pig a Pancake. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
