Book Synopsis



If a hungry little mouse shows up on your doorstep, you might want to give him a cookie. And if you give him a cookie, he'll ask for a glass of milk. He'll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache, and then he'll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim....

From the Back Cover



If a hungry little traveler shows up at your house, you might want to give him a cookie. If you give him a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. He'll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache, and then he'll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim....

The consequences of giving a cookie to this energetic mouse run the young host ragged, but young readers will come away smiling at the antics that tumble like dominoes through the pages of this delightful picture book.

My 4 year old son recieved this book as a Christmas gift and he absolutely LOVES it! I bought this hardcover version for him because I recieved this book as a gift when I was a little girl. I enjoyed reading this book. So when I saw it I had to purchase for my son to enjoy as well. He loves to read this book right before bed time. It has become one of his favorites! I HIGHLY recommend this book!

Loved the book 25 years ago for my children. Buying it now for my grandchildren. I frequently say "well you know what happens when you give a mouse a cookie".... now my family remembers what that means. It applies to so many situations.
