If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff
If a hungry little traveller shows up at your house, you might want to give him a cookie. If you give him a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. Then he'll want to look in the mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk moustache, and then he'll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim...You'd have thought that after all this the little mouse would be exhausted, but he is unstopable and full of ideas to keep him busy through the day! The consequences of giving a cookie to this energetic mouse run the young host ragged, but young readers will come away smiling at the antics that tumble like dominoes through the pages of this delightful picture book.
