Amazon.com Review From the pages of Laura Joffe Numeroff and Felicia Bond's very funny tale of warped logic If You Give a Mouse a Cookie jumps the demanding rodent himself, complete with detachable chocolate-chip cookie. Each 7-inch-tall mouse has movable arms and legs, removable denim overalls with a hole for the tail, and polka-dot boxers beneath! You may want to keep the cookie away from this soft mouse because, as you know, "If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give him the milk, he'll probably ask you for a straw." Each mouse comes packaged in a gift box with a miniature 4-inch by 5-inch hardcover edition of the book. 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.
