\ From Barnes & NobleWhat happens if you give a mouse a cookie? Why he'll need a glass of milk to go with it! He'll also need a straw, a napkin, a mirror--each item prompts the need for another. When the mouse is hanging a picture from a refrigerator (how did he get there?), he's reminded that he's thirsty and needs a glass of milk (uh-oh). With this milk, it's absolutely necessary to have a cookie, of course! Bond's wonderful illustrations enliven this modern day classic.\ \ \ \ \ Children's Literature - Sylvia Firth\ What more can one say about a perky, demanding mouse dressed in blue jean coveralls that has not already been said?
