About This Book

A boy gives a mouse a cookie, setting off an escalating chain of requests - a glass of milk, a straw, a napkin - each one leading inevitably to the next. Laura Numeroff's circular story structure and Felicia Bond's charming illustrations perfectly capture the hilarious, never-ending logic of cause and effect.

Why We Love This

Kids absolutely adore the predictable pattern and love guessing what the mouse will ask for next - it's a read-aloud classic that never gets old, even after the hundredth time.
