In this hilarious sequel to If Yous Give a Mouse a Cookie, the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young readers volition delight in the comic complications that follow when a piffling boy entertains a gregarious moose. Laura Joffe Numeroff does an amazing job at giving us all the perspectives and using amazing language and imagery. The illustrations really bring the story to life. This story e'er makes me smile and express joy.

I'll say this again, if anyone gives /this/ volume anything lower than three stars, they had a crude babyhood of much repression and they probably need to come across a counselor. Or peradventure they realized how god-awfully greedy this freaking moose is. Spoilers are below, though why that'southward necessary to see for a volume where the title literally gives abroad the plot line and is therefore a spoiler in itself, I haven't a clue. Alright, let'south go this train on the tracks, despite the tracks being very long and with very many twists and turns that'll take your centre on a whirlwind of emotions. Or not, this isn't The Fault In Our Stars or annihilation. If it was, the title might be "If You lot Give a Moose A Cigarette" and would go on to say that he'll promptly refuse your lighter and blather on nearly metaphors or whatever. Anyway!
Laura Joffe (like the heart name, not the douchey GoT character) Numeroff writes this book about one rather big moose with a questionable past and very astringent MADD, which here stands for "Moose Attention Deficit Disorder." The very title folio includes said moose munching on a few garden leaves, thus foreshadowing the mischief he'due south sure to become into in the following pages.
Right away we have a child sticking his trunk out of the window of his lovely stone house to offer a curious moose a fleck of baked goods. Clearly, this kid never learned non to talk to strangers. The muffin is procured by the moose and of a sudden the lilliputian asshole thinks that was an open up invitation to barge correct in through the doors. Has this thing e'er learned manners? This is the Black Bear story all over over again! Oh, great, now he wants jam too. Where practice you become off request for a identify to chill AND jam after being offered i tiny muffin?
Oh yes, requite him the jam your mother slaved over for hours last nighttime while she sobbed almost how her married man left her alone with child, that's prissy. Of course, afterward he finishes more of the muffins that your bereaving female parent cooked up, he'll wipe his dirty hooves on the tablecloth and desire more! And he Nonetheless wants more! This moose is far too greedy. Then he turns the little boy into his bitch by making him go out and get him some more mix. Like the child's one-time plenty to utilize the oven! Fast forward a bit.
This story is basically only a way for the moose to ruin ALL of the kid's mothers things. The sweater, the socks, the living room floor, and the bedsheets! And this child has no concern for who has to clean it all upwards, because he certainly won't have to. This poor mother only wants to beverage herself happy and bask her garden, but she can't even have that! I bet the moose will drink all of the liquor in her cabinet by next sequel.
And so the stupid moose goes outside RIGHT Backside WHERE THE MOTHER IS and you call back that she's been home all along and then I guess that makes her half a decent parent. But then you have information technology back because a moose walks over to her clothsline, puts a sheet onto it with magically little trouble, and walks back into the firm to play with her son and she has no idea. The bitch is so drunk off her donkey that she didn't fifty-fifty notice a very Large moose in her thou. I started out saying this volume is 5 star worthy, only now I'grand not then certain. She follows them into the house and they brand a break for it before she could encounter them. "Oh my child's merely playing with a behemothic moose, how nice. I must've overdone it on the drugs."
There'due south literally no lesson learned hither. Big Black Bear teaches a lesson on manners and includes a turning point. This book is a circle. A Circumvolve. After all their antics are over, the moose is tired and hungry and suddenly wants zip more than than a muffin again. Jesus Christ, man! Where'south the lesson? This teaches children to be privileged picayune brats who can just practise whatever they want if their mom doesn't see information technology. I smell 'Rugrats' blazon of story hither. Anyway, Happy Birthday, Sara. Bask your 24-hour interval like I enjoyed ripping this book to shreds in the non-literal sense. You're an awesome cousin and y'all'll pass all your classes adjacent semester, then chill out a bit, will ya? And give Elvis some treats. Information technology's not his mistake your getting old.

These stories are a kid'due south introduction to the absurd, and they're great fun. The illustrations are fabulous, whimsical, and colorful. They really bring out the characters of the moose and little male child, and accept wonderful picayune touches and details hidden throughout.
