The Best Mouse Cookie Board Book (Laura Geringer Books (Board Books))

Rating:
Summary: Another winner from Laura Numeroff
Review: After picking up several other books by Laura Numeroff for my older son this was a natural choice for my 8 month old. She makes easy to read stories that kids just love! My little guy loves to look at the colorful pictures and actually listens to the words when we read together! It is simple enough that even my 5 year old can read it to his younger brother and he loves the book just as much! A great first book choice for baby!

Rating:
Summary: not as fun as other Numeroff-Bond collaborations
Review: Do not buy this book expecting the same hilarious adventures of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". The same little rodent is featured, and the illustrations are excellent, but the action almost exclusively concerns the mouse's solitary baking. It is a short board book meant for the younger crowd and is entertaining, but it is strangely disjointed, particularly when one considers the fluid antics of the earlier books -- a fine introduction to the Numeroff-Bond books, but this one will not have the same staying power.

Review: I did buy this book thinking it was going to be like the other books in the series. My 2 year old and I were both disappointed. It is a cute book, but considering my daughter was already enjoying the longer books in the series, this one was just not as entertaining.

Summary: Toddler favorite
Review: If you're looking for another book like "If you give a Moose a Muffin" or "If you give a mouse a cookie" - you should know that this book is NOT written in that same style at all. There are no hilarious antics for what the mouse asks for or is reminded of next. This book was written for babies and young children, so the text is much simpler (but still clever). The illustrations are great and just what you'd expect if you've read her other popular books. This book is a wonderful way to introduce a baby or toddler to Laura's well-written series of books.

Review: My youngest is 2 years old and has this book memorized. He pretends to "read" it word for word including "written by Laura Numeroff, Illustrated by Felicia Bond." Excellent introduction for young children to get involved/interested in reading.
