I thought this would be a story line similar to "If you give a mouse a cookie" but, it wasn't that at all. There is no story at all. It's just each page counting from 1-10 with that number of objects on each page. This is my favorite author of all times but this book REALLY fell short!
If you love the "If you give a mouse a cookie" books - this is not it! It is pretty much a very simple counting book. Not what I was hoping to show my 4 and 5 year olds. It is not very long and the pages are very sturdy, so it would be great for a toddler. My boys were not that impressed with it and neither was I.
We love the "If you give" books and thought this would be a great addition to our library. I was very disappointed when it arrived and I went to read it to my kids. There isn't a story. It's just very few words per page and a very basic counting book. Would not recommend it in the future.
My 2 1/2 year old twins love If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and always want to read it before bedtime. We decided to add a few more Mouse books to their collection and chose this one. I am a bit disappointed because I thought it was going to be a story about Christmas; instead, it's a counting book. Regardless, it's still great to read to them because it will help with counting and we can point out some of the different decorations that go on a Christmas tree. I love the board book format because it's sturdy enough to withstand the toddler years. I recommend buying this book for any Mouse fan but just know it's not really a story as much as it is a counting book.
I am a former early childhood teacher and am a big fan of the Laura Numeroff books (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie). This was a cute seasonal book. It is geared towards toddlers---probably more appropriate for 2 and under.
This book counts along with mouse as he decorates the Christmas tree! As a parent I sort of wish there was a little more to the story but my kiddo absolutely loves it & it is a short book she loved to read before bed & pointed out the different ornaments as we read. So all in all I think it's a good book if your little one enjoys the mouse books!
As a family, we love these books. We buy one for each holiday. They are very short and easy for children to pay attention to without losing interest. Many other holiday books are simply too long for children.
I'm really disappointed in this book. Firstly, it BARELY features Mouse at all -- he is on very few of the pages. Secondly, it's more of a counting book than a Christmas book -- the items to count are Christmas-themed but i was expecting (and wanting) more of a Christmas story. I just get the feeling that the absolute minimum effort when into creating this book.
