"If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" reminds me of bedtime when I was little. Before I could read I would memorize my favorite picture books. Adults who didn't know me thought I knew how to read until they gave me a book that wasn't mine. I can almost still recite this though not nessesarily in the order in which it occurs.
I get really excited whenever a little kid comes to check this out at the library.
