>> The title of the book we're going to read is If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. The author's name is Laura Numeroff, and it's illustrated by Felicia Bond. There is a little boy sitting on a rock eating a delicious bag of cookies, and he's reading a fun magazine, and over the distance, he saw a little mouse wearing overalls with very big ears. And so he starts to give the mouse a cookie. If he gives the mouse a cookie, what will happen? So the boy gives the mouse a cookie, and the mouse is so excited, and he says, "Hey, I want a glass of milk. You can't have cookies without milk." And the boy said, "Okay, fine. Let's go into the house." And so he opens the refrigerator, and fills up a glass of milk, and hands it to the mouse. The mouse tries to drink it, but he says, "Hey, I want a straw so I can drink the milk." And the boy said, "Oh, okay."
So he opens the cabinet, pulls some things out, and he finds a straw, and he gives it to the mouse, and the mouse starts drinking from the straw and says, "Oh, that was so good, but I also need a napkin because I have spots on my face from the milk." And the mouse says to the boy, "Hey, I need to look at myself in the mirror because I don't want to have any leftover milk spots on my face. I have to look at myself in the mirror." And the boy carries the mouse and brings him to the mirror, and the mouse is looking at his face and sees a hair sticking up at the top of his head. And he says to the boy, "Hey, I need a pair of scissors." And the boy runs off, and gets a pair of scissors, and gives it to the mouse, and he trims that piece of hair, but then he starts cutting more and more until there are pieces of hair all over the floor. And when the mouse is done, he looked down at the floor and said, "Hey, I need a broom to clean up this mess." And the boy goes and gets a broom and gives it to the mouse, and he starts sweeping, but then he sweeps more and more and more until he's swept the entire house, and every single room he was sweeping and sweeping and sweeping until there was a cloud of dust. 
And after the mouse had swept, he even decided that he wanted to scrub the floors, and so he scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed until the floors were shiny. And then he became very sleepy, and he fell down, and he told the boy, "Hey, I want to go to sleep in a comfortable place." And the boy said, "Fine." So he gets a box, and he starts putting things inside the box to make a bed for the mouse to make the mouse feel so comfortable, and then he got a powder puff to use as a pillow and put it behind the mouse's head, and the mouse was so comfortable. And he said, "Hey, I want you to tell me a story." And the boy said, "Okay, fine." And so he grabbed a book and started telling a story to the mouse. And the mouse said, "Hey, I want to see some pictures." And the boy said, "Sure," and showed him some pictures as he was telling the story. And the mouse got so excited and said, "Hey, I want to make my own book." And so he jumped out of his bed, and he said, "I want paper and crayons to color. I'm so excited."
And so he got his paper and his crayons, and the mouse was so excited, and then he drew and he drew and he drew and drew, and when he was done, he made an awesome drawing. And the mouse said, "Hey, I want to sign my name on my picture. I need a pen." And so the boy went off and grabbed a pen, and gave it to the mouse, and the mouse signed his piece of art. And then the boy started cleaning, and swept, and scrubbed, and as he was cleaning, the mouse said, "Hey, I want that picture to be put on the refrigerator." And what does that mean? And what does he need? Scotch tape. And he said, "Hey, I need tape." And the boy said, "Okay, fine." And so he got the roll of tape, and he threw it at the mouse, and the mouse caught it, and he walked over to the refrigerator, and climbed up, and was able to put his drawing upon the refrigerator using the tape. And he sat there, and the mouse thought of something. And he said, "I'm so thirsty." And so he walked over to the boy, but the boy was so worn out. He was lying down tired. 
So, and the mouse wrung his hands together, and ran, and jumped onto the boy, and woke him up on his chest, and he said, "I want milk." And the boy said, "Okay, okay," and carried the mouse over. And chances are, if he asks for a glass of milk, he's going to want a cookie to go with it.
