A mouse's request for a cookie sets off a chain of events.
When a little mouse arrives at your door, offering him a cookie sets off a chain of whimsical demands. From milk to mirrors, each request leads to another, leaving the young host in a delightful whirlwind. Will the mouse's antics ever end, or is this just the beginning of a never-ending cycle? Discover the charming chaos in this beloved tale that promises laughter and endless fun.
If a hungry little traveler shows up at your house, you might want to give him a cookie. If you give him a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of milk. He’ll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a milk mustache, and then he’ll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim…. The consequences of giving a cookie to this energetic mouse run the young host ragged, but young readers will come away smiling at the antics that tumble like dominoes through the pages of this delightful picture book.
