Every now and then a new book arrives in our school library that makes me almost jump for joy. Mouse Cookies and more - a Treasury is one of these books.
I have been a fan of Laura Numeroff and her 'circle' stories for many years and love to read If you give a mouse a cookie and many others to our Kindergarten students each year. I bought little cassette tapes of these stories but the tapes are now quite worn out and it can be difficult to find an old cassette player. Mouse Cookies and More - has it all. The full text and illustrations for four Numeroff stories, a CD with readings by people like David Hyde Pierce, recipes, craft ideas, teaching activities and even the music for the mouse cookie song.
Here is a list of some recipes :
Mum's old fashioned Oatmeal cookies
Uncle Sydney's Snickerdoodles
Pop's peanut butter Munches
Ice Cream pancakes with Strawberry Sauce
Corny Corn muffins
Chocolate mud muffins
and more
I have talked about this series previously. This treasury would make a lovely gift for a young child - especially if you own a piano and can enjoy the songs too. You can see some sample pages here.
In Japan they even have a Mouse Cookie Bus.
