Rating:  Summary: This was our first Numeroff book and we are hooked. Review: As a gift from a family member to our daughter we were introduced to Numeroff. Now we are hooked. We have "If you give a Pig a Pancake" and "If you give a Mouse a Cookie." The illustrations and the stories are wonderful.
Rating:  Summary: Another book to read at bedtime. Review: Bedtime is the favorite time for me and my five year old daughter. Some time ago we discovered If You Give a Mouse a Muffin, and both of us fell in love. It was with great pleasure we found out that Laura Joffe Numeroff and Felicia Bond has more books out in this series, and just like the first one, If You Give a Moose a Muffin has become an all time favorite for us.The book starts with a little boy giving a muffin to the moose right outside his house. The moose gets the muffin, but comes into the house to get some jam to go with it.And of course the one muffin is not enough, the moose wants one more and one more.And as the story goes on the moose gets more and more fantastic ideases. The drawings that goes with the story are so funny, you just have to stop reading all the time to enjoy them. And exactly like the first book this story makes an eterniy wheel - in the end the moose see some jam, and of course wants a muffin to go with the jam, and we are right back to the beginning. It is a genious way to write for children, and just as much fun for the grown up reader. My daughter and I only have the first two books in the series yet, but have the others on top of our wish list. Read the book, with or without a child, and I can promise you the best reading time :-) My hope is that someone will translate these books into Norwegian, I would love to give all Norwegian chidren the pleasure of discovering them.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful for younger ages, too Review: I bought this book on sale and put it away for my 19-month old daughter, thinking it was too old for her. Another case of "shows what I know." She loves it, and now that she's almost two, we can't go into a store without her pointing out the muffins. I ask her what she wants with it, and she smiles and says "jam" as if she's in on the joke. The rhythm of the writing and the playful illustrations make it accessible to younger ages. Just take off the nice dust cover and save it until their old enough to appreciate such things.
Rating:  Summary: Not as good as "Mouse" or "Pig" but still very entertaining Review: I did not think this book was as good as the Mouse/Cookie and Pig/Pancake scenarios, but my 2 year old was hooked on the format and still loved this book. If this is your first purchase in the series, I would suggest buying one of the others mentioned above first. Most kids will find this book fun and entertaining.
Rating:  Summary: Favorite Children's Story Review: I have loved this book ever since I first read it. I give it as a present to every child in my family. They all love it too! As a teacher, I would recommend this book highly. Great illustrations are a bonus.

Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book!! Review: I love this book. My son picks this book for me to read to him at least once a week. We have about 4 of Numeroff's book and he loves them all!!!
Rating:  Summary: Good Book Review: I think this book is a fun book to read for all ages. This book lets kids start using their imagination. I have enjoyed reading this book since I was little and I think that many more generations will enjoy it too.
Rating:  Summary: This book is fantastic for little ears and eye's! Review: I think this book is terrific for little people! My whole family loves it, especially my 20 month old sister! She is tickled to death by the cute illustrations and the funny things the boy and moose do. We love the other titles (Pig a Pancake and Mouse a Cookie) just as much. Great job!*****
Rating:  Summary: IF YOU GIVE A MOOSE A MUFFIN Review: I thought that this was a well written kids book, although it wasn't very creative. I gave this book a three star rating because it wasn't creative. I say that this book wasn't very creative because the author that wrote this book also wrote a book called IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE, coincidence, I think not.
