If you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll want a glass of milk… and so the story goes.
I absolutely love Laura Numeroff’s picture books. The whole series is a fun collection of cause and effect stories.
Kids love these books, too. They’re just plain silly. They love trying to predict what’s going to happen next.
The first in the series is If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and I’ve created a fun printable to go along with it. In addition, I’ve rounded up a collection of hands-on activities your preschoolers will enjoy.
If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
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….
This book is a great first introduction to Mouse, the star of the If You Give… series and a perennial favorite among children. With its spare, rhythmic text and circular tale, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is perfect for beginning readers and story time!

Thank you so much for this resource! We recently moved to Italy and now I am in chemotherapy while the kids have their second week off of school from the coronavirus – so we are a bit homebound and the kids are stir-crazy! We are going to bake cookies today and have an “If You Give A Mouse a Cookie” themed day! Thank you for making this week easier and more educational!
thank you for sharing!!!! MItzy
