Amazon.com Review
"If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it." So begins the most logical silliness to be found anywhere--at least since Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond's If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Readers will follow a young boy and his voracious visitor through a series of antlered antics: jam reveries and puppet shows and big messes. It all makes perfect sense, really, once you stop to think about it. What moose wouldn't want to borrow a sweater when it's cold outside? And why shouldn't the loose button on the sweater remind him of his grandmother? Bond's cleverly detailed, witty illustrations perfectly complement Numeroff's deadpan style. Through just a few deft words and brush strokes, the reader gets a real sense of the unique personalities of the two characters. Children will relate easily to the full-circle reasoning of the story, while picking up the concept of cause and effect. The moral of the story? Keep plenty of muffin mix and blackberry jam in your cupboard. You never know who may drop by. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
If a big hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. When he's eaten all your muffins, he'll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix. In this hilarious sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young readers will delight in the comic complications that follow when a little boy entertains a gregarious moose.If you give a moose a muffin, he's going to want some jam to go with it. And if you give a child this audiocassette package, he or she is going to want to hear Robby Benson's warm and witty reading of the best-selling If You Give a Moose a Muffin again and again. . . . This companion to the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie mini book and tape package also includes `Doin' the Moose,' a swinging song that'll send kids be-bopping across the kitchen floor; `The Muffin Game,' a rousing interactive singalong complete with egg cracking and berry picking; and snippets from Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond on how they came up with ideas for the book.

 Ridiculously Big in Size August 8, 2009
Finest City Reader (San Diego, CA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I didn't pay close enough attention when at least one other reviewer said this is too big! It is 15X17 inches. I can't store it with my other books. It doesn't fit on a bookshelf or in a credenza. Guess we'll have to slide it under the bed. I paid $20.74 just a couple days ago. It's 18.99 today. It's a cute story but not worth the price and inconvenience of the size.

Laura Numeroff has a formula that works, which started with the If You Give a Pig a Pancake and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. These are books that I bought for my now ten-year-old daughter.
I am now sharing them with her 4-year-old brother. He loves them!
You might think that it would get old. But it doesn't get old to the four-year-old and I find Felicia Bonds drawings to be so beautiful that Mom doesn't get tired of it either.
The Moose story is his favorite for now. He literally wanted to read it back to back, over and over, and he doesn't generally react to new stories that way.
I can almost taste the blackberry jam -- yum.

Having read this book to my children a million times as a child, I wanted to get it for a friend who is having their first baby.
I was SHOCKED when I opened the HUGE box from Amazon. I mean this childrens book is nearly 18 inches long! It's GInormous!
But, the content is great.
Just never thought of having a lifesize muffin to read about.

I bought this for my Grandaughter and she loves it. I think the fact that it is such a large book is nice as well.

If You Give A Moose a Muffin
By Laura Joffe Numeroff
Illustrated by Felicia Bond
"If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it."
You should know better than to feed a moose. Don't you know one muffin will never fill him up? When a moose comes over to play, the fun could last all day!
You and your children will love the antics of the moose, and the little boy who tries to feed him.
