If You Give a Moose a Muffin (Hardcover)

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 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."From the first toss of a muffin to the final scene in which the day's activities culminate in a messy array and the story comes full circle, readers gladly follow a moose and . . . young boy in this lively sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Numeroff presents the energetic sequence of events in stream-of-consciousness fashion . . . just the right springboard for Bond's distinct, pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings. Librarians will have trouble keeping this book on the shelf." —SLJ.
