About this book

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a children's picture book illustrated by Felicia Bond. This oversize big book edition measures 15 by 17 inches and is designed for classroom sharing. The story follows a circular chain of events that begins when a hungry mouse arrives and is given a cookie. The mouse then requests a glass of milk, wants to check his reflection in a mirror to see if he has a milk mustache, and asks for scissors to trim his fur. The book uses spare, rhythmic text to tell its tale, making it suitable for beginning readers and story time. Mouse is the main character of the If You Give series and serves as an introduction to the broader collection for young readers ages 4-8.
