If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Printable Learning Packs & Worksheets

If you have a preschooler the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Series is probably a staple book in your household. They are one of the more popular children’s books. You can turn this book into an educational activity with If You Give a Mouse a Cookie printables.

I absolutely loved reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie series to my little ones in our homeschool preschool. They are a personal favorite of mine. No one can resist the cute little mouse eating a cookie, then asking for a glass of milk and he continues to ask for more and more things.

There are so many different stories in the whole series, and they are just so funny and sweeet. We really enjoy the simple humor and even very small children try to guess what will happen next as the story progresses.

These books go on and on and get sillier and sillier as they go. We quote them often in our household, even now as my kids are older.

What is the age range of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?

This book is geared for children ages 4-8 or any young learners. I have read it to my children at just 2 years old. Even my 10 year old likes to read these adorable books on her own.

This type of story is called a circular tale, which cycles through one event at a time, until it reaches the beginning of the story again. In this instance, the mouse goes through a series of events after eating the cookie, and ends up back at the table asking for a cookie again! 

Kids of all ages enjoy this book as it keeps them guessing what will happen before it happens. Older children can read the story out loud to younger siblings or just read it for some fun reading time.

What are the books in the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Series?

There are nine books in the series written by Laura Numeroff. There are so many different animals that have been added as cute and troublesome characters. The books are published in this order:
