Product Description
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.

"If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it." So begins the most logical silliness to be found anywhere--at least since Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond's If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Readers will follow a young boy and his voracious visitor through a series of antlered antics: jam reveries and puppet shows and big messes. It all makes perfect sense, really, once you stop to think about it. What moose wouldn't want to borrow a sweater when it's cold outside? And why shouldn't the loose button on the sweater remind him of his grandmother? Bond's cleverly detailed, witty illustrations perfectly complement Numeroff's deadpan style. Through just a few deft words and brush strokes, the reader gets a real sense of the unique personalities of the two characters. Children will relate easily to the full-circle reasoning of the story, while picking up the concept of cause and effect. The moral of the story? Keep plenty of muffin mix and blackberry jam in your cupboard. You never know who may drop by. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

 Grandchildren loved it!, 2008-04-24
My daughter wrote me to tell me that the grandchildren made her read this book three times in a row and that my youngest grandson fell asleep holding the book! She said that they loved it--and that they laughed and laughed! High praise for any book!

Numeroff + Bond = Awesome team!, 2008-02-12
BOTTOM LINE:
Cannot recall in recent memory an author and illustrator that made such hilarious children's books! Numeroff's characters breathe life into a normal child's day a'la 'Cat in the hat' - causing situations that range from silly to sometimes bordering on the bizarre! The results are always hilarious and always come full circle. Overall, these books are fun to read, fun to look at, and just pure, magical whimsy.
Love that.

 Moose, Muffin, from Melanie, 2008-02-11
If You Give a Moose a Muffin is a childrens story recommended for ages 5-7
Like the classic If You give a Mouse a Cookie, it starts out with a little boy giving a muffin to a moose who just happens to be right outside his house, and then the moose asks for more and more stuff, such as blackberry jam, socks, sweaters, and one or two more muffins. All persons over the age of 7 probably will NOT find this read particularly enjoyable unless reading to a younger child.
