He loves them.You might think that it would get old. Laura Numeroff has a formula that works, which started with the If You Give a Pig a Pancake and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. These are books that I bought for my now ten-year-old daughter.I am now sharing them with her 4-year-old brother. But it doesn't get old to the four-year-old and I find Felicia Bonds drawings to be so beautiful that Mom doesn't get tired of it either.The Moose story is his favorite for now. He literally wanted to read it back to back, over and over, and he doesn't generally react to new stories that way.I can almost taste the blackberry jam -- yum.
I mean this childrens book is nearly 18 inches long. Having read this book to my children a million times as a child, I wanted to get it for a friend who is having their first baby. I was SHOCKED when I opened the HUGE box from Amazon. It's GInormous.But, the content is great. Just never thought of having a lifesize muffin to read about.
I bought this for my Grandaughter and she loves it. I think the fact that it is such a large book is nice as well.
If You Give A Moose a MuffinBy Laura Joffe NumeroffIllustrated by Felicia Bond"If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it."You should know better than to feed a moose. Don't you know one muffin will never fill him up. When a moose comes over to play, the fun could last all day.You and your children will love the antics of the moose, and the little boy who tries to feed him.Jill Ammon VanderwoodThrough the RugThrough The Rug: Follow That Dog (Through the Rug)
I bought three of these "If You Give." books at the same time, and they are hysterical. My four year old grandson loves them and my daughter and I laughed as we read them. I'm so glad I found these.
