If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
be Laura Joffe Numeroff

This is a cute little story about a mouse that comes across a little boy and spends some time with him. It starts with the boy giving the mouse a cookie and then leads from one thing to another.

There are a ton of pictures and only one sentence per page. It's a great book for little boys because it invites to talk about a lot of activities they do during their regular day like taking a nap or coloring a picture.

What this book reminds me of is the life of a mom. It's quite funny, when you look at the pictures, the mouse wants this and that and the little boy is doing everything for the mouse. As the book progresses, the little boy looks more and more tired. On the last page he sits in a mess, help asleep, cleaning stuff everywhere and the mouse is on his lap eating another cookie. That is so much how I feel many nights. Makes me smile.
