My 4 year old daughter loves this series. In this book are four of the titles (If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, If You Give A Pig A Pancake, If You Give A Moose A Muffin and If You Take A Mouse To SChool)plus songs, activities and recipes to accompany each story. The CD reads through all of the stories and sings the songs. The stories are easy to follow along and the illustrations are wonderful. They start with the title of the book and progress from there. For example, If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk and so on. The stories are engaging and my daughter's reading skills are progressing rapidly. I have fun changing the stories up. I'll say the mouse will ask for a glass of water and my daughter will correct me. They are great for early reading skills and memory. If You Give A Pig A Party is her other favorite after mouse cookie which we purchased separately. This is the one my daughter usually asks for before bed. She'll snuggle up with the book, we put the CD on and it winds her down. The Cd lasts approximately 30 minutes. Ihighly reccomend this series for beginning readers.

My four-year-old loves the series of book and adores this book!

Contains four stories and several songs, recipes and activities. The books in it are "If you give a mouse a cookie" "If you take a mouse to school" "If you give a pig a pancake" and "If you give a moose a muffin".

Having already read and bought most of the If You Give a Mouse series I wasn't too keen to aquire the latest compilation until I heard the cd. I absolutely love the 3rd (I believe) track in which the children have a chance to test their listening skills. My 5 1/2 year old daughter loves the Piggy Polka and really enjoys paging thru the book with the cd. It reminds me of when I was kid paging thru the Jungle Book while listening enraptured to the record. Each reading and song is beautifully rendered. As a storyteller, I will be using this soon for storytime as the cd is a wonderful enhancement for some of the Laura Joffe Numeroff's best tales with those lovely, endearing illustrations.

My 2 year old daughter loves this book, so do her parents! The stories are fun and the illustrations are superior. The CD has all 4 stories and several nice songs, some of them quite funny. My daughter loves to have us read the book to her and even tries to "read" it herself.

The quality of the book itself is very good, nice price and sturdy. I am sure our family will enjoy it for several more years.

My son won this book from our local library--he was so excited. All his favorite books in one place! And the songs on the CD are fun and catchy.(albeit slightly annoying for me). He had enjoyed it less than two months when it started to fall apart. The binding on this book (224 pages) is completely inadequate. It is not stitched together, it is "perfect bound" an (oxy-moron if there ever was one) where each page is individually glued into the adhesive. Our book is now in complete pieces--but my son can't bear to throw it away, and I am reluctant to replace it only to have another one fall apart. I recommend looking for a better binding, if available, or buying the books separately.

I came across this book while looking for a gift for my neice. I've heard the "Give a mouse..." saying a thousand times, but had never read the book. What a treat.

I didn't get to check out the CD, but the book alone is worth the price. The recipies and activities are simple and would be something fun to do with your kid.

This is a book you can enjoy reading to them as much as they enjoy hearing it -- the illustrations are cute and have lots of hidden details to notice.

This book was bought for my nephew & he just adores it. He reads it every night before he goes to sleep. It's a great book w/colorful pictures & fun crafts.

My children love these little books, and I have no complaints with the wonderful stories or illustrations. The quality of the book itself, however, is terrible. My nephew has had 2 copies and we have had 1 copy and all of them have completely fallen apart, despite rather infrequent, careful use. The pages simply do not stay inside the binding, resulting in lost sections, misordered pages, and much bedtime drama.

My daughter (3years old) can't get enough of this book. She/I love the simple story line with fantastic illustrations.

I love this collection of books! And it comes with a CD! It is a great value and a great gift for friends with small children. I bought one for everyone I know that is starting a family. I highly recommend it.
