My name is Dara Elizabeth and I am a current student at the University of Montevallo. Below is my blog that contains all of my favorite classroom books that I hope to add to my classroom library one day!
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie was published in 1985 by Laura Numeroff. This story is about a list of events that occurred after a boy gave a mouse a cookie. When the mouse receives his first cookie, he asks for a glass of milk to go with the cookie. From then on, the mouse had a long list of demanding requests that he proceeded to ask of the boy. For each event, the mouse has a new request. Some believe that this story is about teaching the principle that every action has a consequence. For an activity, I would allow my students to make their very own mouse puppets as a craft! This book is a 2.7 according to the Accelerated Reader book leveling system.
