Well, if youre going to go around giving an exuberantly bossy rodent a cookie, youd best be prepared to do one or two more favors for it before your day is through. For example, hell certainly need a glass of milk to wash down that cookie, wont he? And you cant expect him to drink the milk without a straw, can you? By the time our hero is finished granting all the mouses very urgent requests--and cleaning up after him--its no wonder his head is becoming a bit heavy. Laura Joffe Numeroffs tale of warped logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator category.
