If You Give a Cat a Cupcake (If You Give... Numeroff, Laura / Bond, Felicia FIC .037 NUM
Books) 1
PreSchool-Grade 2—This story begins with a girl, a cat that originally appeared in Numeroff's If You Give a Pig a
Party (HarperCollins, 2005), and a cupcake. The cat asks for some sprinkles, and naturally, they spill on the floor.
Cleaning them up makes the cat hot, so he asks for a bathing suit, and hijinks ensue. The resulting series of
events leads the protagonist and the cat to the beach, into a boat, through an amusement park, and eventually
back to the sprinkles and another cupcake. The familiar madcap illustrations contrast a gleefully mischievous
gray cat with a bemused blond girl. The tone is wry, and the story features the zany childhood logic of the earlier
titles by this creative team. The concept is beginning to wear thin, but the book will be popular among fans of the
series.

If you give a mouse a cookie 1st ed.
Numeroff, Laura Joffe. / Bond, Felicia. FIC .091 NUM
Who would ever suspect that a tiny little mouse could wear out an energetic young boy? Well, if you're going to go
around giving an exuberantly bossy rodent a cookie, you'd best be prepared to do one or two more favors for it
before your day is through. For example, he'll certainly need a glass of milk to wash down that cookie, won't he?
And you can't expect him to drink the milk without a straw, can you? By the time our hero is finished granting all
the mouse's very urgent requests--and cleaning up after him--it's no wonder his head is becoming a bit heavy.
Laura Joffe Numeroff's tale of warped logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator category. But concerned
parents can rest assured, there's even a little education thrown in for good measure: underneath the folly rest
valuable lessons about cause and effect. Felicia Bond's hilarious pictures are full of subtle, fun details. Fans will
be happy to know that this dynamic author-illustrator pair teamed up again for If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If
You Give a Pig a Pancake. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8)
