Everything has an impact on everything else in this world, so if you take a mouse to the movies, don't be surprised if you find yourself being run ragged by the exuberant little fellow's increasingly grand appetites. When we first met him in Numeroff and Bond's tremendously popular <I>If You Give a Mouse a Cookie</I>, he had more energy than a 2-year-old on lollipops. Now, in the excitement of the Christmas season, he's unstoppable. Going from movie theater to Christmas tree lot to the neighbor's yard for snowmouse-building, he's a very demanding mouse indeed--in only the best way, of course.<p> The freshness of the If You Give a... series is diminished only slightly as the sequels pile up. The dazed and earnest look on the face of the mouse's long-suffering friend makes a marvelous foil for the mouse's high-spirited expressions. Adult readers will chuckle as they recognize the ephemeral passions of a child, while children will simply love the unfolding chain of events. A perfect Christmas read-aloud for the impetuous youngster on your list.

If you take a mouse to the movies then he wants popcorn, starts to string it together, and then keeps asking for things until you're back to the mouse wanting to go back to the movies.]]> 2 0 false false Mon Mar 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 23:57:55 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 23:59:05 -0700 2009 1 5 0 false false Thu Apr 02 10:11:34 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 10:11:34 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 15:47:52 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 15:47:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 28 19:35:08 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 19:35:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Dec 01 10:55:02 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 10:55:32 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Apr 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 15:50:52 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 21:42:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Aug 28 14:13:12 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 14:14:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 09:02:36 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 09:05:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 09:19:06 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 09:19:27 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 13:50:02 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 14:07:13 -0700 2008 Audience: K-3rd
