If You Give A Mouse A Cookie


One day a little boy was sitting outside by his house eating cookies. He saw a friendly little mouse and asked him if he wanted a cookie. But, if you give a mouse a cookie, he will want a glass of milk. After the glass of milk the mouse will want a straw, of course. Then, naturally, the mouse will want to gaze into the mirror for a milk mustache. And the list keeps going on. The consequence of giving the mouse a cook continues to go on and on. Thus, the boy becomes very tired. In the end, the mouse wanted another cookie, which could make the story repeat. The boy falls asleep as the mouse ate the cookie.

Illustrations:
- Every time the mouse wants something he or the boy end up making a huge mess
- In one illustration of the boy and the mouse in the bathroom, the floor in black and white checkered. But, in another illustration (of the same bathroom) the floor in only white.
- The pictures are very appealing and bright

There is no dialogue in the story, but the book is still charming. The book relies on the pictures instead of the dialogue.
