This book was my favorite as a child!  If I ever have kids, or a niece or nephew I will most definately read this to them when they're young.  My mom would always read this to me before I went to bed, and eventually I could read it by myself.  If You Give A Mouse a Cookie, and it's squeals (If You Give a Moose a Muffin, and If You Give a Pig a Pancake.) were my favorite series of picture books!  This crazy mouse story is about how if you give a mouse a cookie then he'll just want more and more! If you don't say no to the mouse after the first time he'll end up taking advantage of you! Throughout the story it keeps connecting items and items! For example if you give a pig a pancake he'll want syrup to go with it, then he will want a plate, and then he'll want to dress up, and somehow the book will end up linking to the pancake again in the last page of the book.  That is how this book went, but with a mouse and cookies.  Milk was a key factor in connecting with the cookie because when you think of cookies, what do you think of? I think of milk and how I don't like chocolate.  As a kid, you would probably just think of milk, because kids love milk! (Unless it's against their religion, and never had it or something weird like that.  Well.. If they are allergic then that's a no too!)  When I was small I would try to draw the mouse from this book with the cookie.  The book's style of art also drew me in. I always love art, and in fact I still do! I loved how the words kept connecting to other things. This book taught me how to keep connecting things with each other. One time when me and my friend, Sterling, did a improvisation camp at Proctors we played a game where we go in a circle and say the next word that comes to make it work.  That game reminds me of this book!
