If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Laura Joffe Numeroff, author

"It all began so simply..." the Boy remembers, "Mom had gone to aunt Rose's house to bring her over a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies." They're the best cookies in the world, and she left some for him. He's also got a new comic book, JUNGLEMAN, BEASTMASTER OF THE AMAZON, so he heads for the backyard. Then the Mouse shows up, hungry - talkative - and not to be ignored. The Boy gives the Mouse a cookie, milk, and a straw to drink it with. Tidying up after, the Mouse needs a napkin and a mirror, which leads to a haircut. What a mess! The boy begins to feel like he's on a roller coaster ride and still on the way up. There's no stopping this Mouse!

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? This tale of warped logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator category!
