If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff illustrated by Felicia Bond*

Another delightful circular story by this fabulous author and illustrator team!
If you give a mouse a brownie, he will, of course, want some scoops of ice cream with it.  To eat ice cream, a spoon makes it easier .  . . and what does one do with a spoon?  Why, drum with it!  And so begins the exciting afternoon with "the boy" and his mouse.
My first grader and I took turns reading the pages aloud together and enjoyed every second of it!
-Borrowed from the library (my first grader wants me to buy it!).
*Highly recommend.
