I ordered this book around Christmas of last year. Being an inside joke, I didn't think that my boyfriend would like it very much. Much to my surprise, he loved it. Now, this book is certainly not for a 22 year-old, but it is one of those books that certainly made itself a staple within your child's reading list. I remember reading this book a lot as a child, and it still holds a special place in my heart for those of us who never truly outgrow the need for being a child or being nostalgic. Children will love the illustrations and how mischievous the mouse will be while parents will probably shake their head and appreciate why it was so beloved in the first place.
"If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" is just one book in Laura Numeroff's collection of children's literature books and this, much like the others, does not disappoint. I highly recommend this for children who are learning to read books with bigger words and concepts, but its still great for the younger children too. Parents who are trying to find an engaging book for their children should look no further, this book honestly has everything.
