If You Give a Moose a Muffin

by Laura Numeroff, Felicia Bond (Illustrator)

Overview

If a big hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. When he's eaten all your muffins, he'll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix...

In this hilarious sequel to the beloved If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young readers will delight in the comic complications that follow when a little boy entertains a gregarious moose.

The If You Give... series is a perennial favorite among children. With its spare, rhythmic text and circular tale, these books are perfect for beginning readers and story time. Sure to inspire giggles and requests to "read it again!"

Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2Every school and public library will want at least one copy of the cassette and book If You Give a Moose a Muffin. Laura Numeroff's book (HarperCollins, 1991) has been a big favorite with children since it was first published. Robby Benson is the narrator, and there are page-turn signals on one side of the tape. A girl sings a bouncy song, "Making Muffins," that is not a recipe but a listing of how to put each ingredient into muffins. Kids will quickly learn the song. Finally, there is a rousing song, "Doin' the Moose!," that will have listeners dancing around the room. Prepare to play this quality tape over and over.Linda R.
