"If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it." So begins the most logical silliness to be found anywhere--at least since Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond's If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Readers will follow a young boy and his voracious visitor through a series of antlered antics: jam reveries and puppet shows and big messes. It all makes perfect sense, really, once you stop to think about it. What moose wouldn't want to borrow a sweater when it's cold outside? And why shouldn't the loose button on the sweater remind him of his grandmother? Bond's cleverly detailed, witty illustrations perfectly complement Numeroff's deadpan style. Through just a few deft words and brush strokes, the reader gets a real sense of the unique personalities of the two characters. Children will relate easily to the full-circle reasoning of the story, while picking up the concept of cause and effect. The moral of the story? Keep plenty of muffin mix and blackberry jam in your cupboard. You never know who may drop by. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
Customer Review: You can't go wrong!
This book is so clever and funny. This is now my favorite childrens books. My son loves this one and thinks it's funny that the moose makes sock puppets. A great buy.
Customer Review: Another read for parents and kids
I found the more I enjoyed, laughed and became kid-like in reading this, the more it became a favorite. Kids love to be able to guess the next step and that is a great thing about this book. Even after re-reading over and over, having her guess the next step makes this book soo well loved.
