AUDIO CASSETTE VERSION

This is one of the best audio version of a story that we have come across. My 2 daughters, ages 2 and 4, love to listen to it in the car. Carol Kane has such a wonderful, fun voice. The tape not only reads the book, but also has a couple of little activities and a cute dancing song. First Carol Kane reads the story. Next she reads it again, playing a couple of games with the kids. In one version she leaves out words for the kids to fill in. (What kid does not know the book by heart?) Then she reads it again, changing some of the words to create an even sillier version of the story. Finally she sings a cute little song that the kids love to dance to. We listen to this in the car. The kids love it even if the book is not handy. I highly reccomend the audio version of this book. Pick it up, you won't be sorry.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

I remember reading this book as a child, and at 20 years old, I still find this book as amusing and fun as I did when I was 8. My favorite thing about this book is its fantastic illustrations. The illustrations truly "bring the book to life". Any child reading this story will be captivated by the image of the adorable mouse and his escapades! I feel that children can relate well to this story; not only does it illustrate how they can find new friends in unlikely places, but children can also relate to the little boy's hairy predicament - making a mess! This tale makes children use there imagination, and is perfect for any child who loves a good adventure and loveable characters. In addition, the story line is exciting and enjoyable for readers of any age....afterall, if you give a child this book, they might just want another!
