  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;If you give a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it. When you give him the sprinkles, he might spill some on the floor. Cleaning up will make him hot, so you'll give him a bathing suit . . . and that's just the beginning!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The lovable cat who first appeared in &lt;i&gt;If You Give a Pig a Party&lt;/i&gt; now has his very own book! Written in the tradition of the bestselling &lt;i&gt;If You Give a Mouse a Cookie&lt;/i&gt;, Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond's newest story will show everyone that Cat is where it's at!&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved If You Give a Moose a Muffin and really liked If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Hereâ€™s another one that uses the alliteration I enjoy. I think that I decided to read this one too because of all the vegan cupcakes Iâ€™ve been eating, and trying to give up. Of course, as with these other If You ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38262657">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read for Homosassa Bedtime Stories on 11/10/2009. Theme: Cats. Paired with &quot;Muffin Man&quot; song. <br/><br/>If you give a cat a cupcake, you might have enough material to write a book. Great tie-ins and repetition but the illustrations are a little small for Storytime. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Picked this up and read it in the store. I thought it was overplayed..there are other books from the same author about the same theme. should change it up a bit. kinda idiotic to me, my overall feel on it. I did like the illustrations though. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ugh.  The best thing about this book is the pictures, and even that is a stretch.  There is no logic to this book at all, no logical chain of events...just a cat going to what seems like as many crazy locations as possible.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Cute cat drawings in this continuation of the &quot;If you...&quot; series.  However, the 'leaps' from one thing to the next in the sequences are even more far-fetched than the previous ones.  Kids will still love it.]]></body>
