Numeroff is a fun gal! She considers writing stories, drawing, and reading her three greatest loves. That is, if you don’t count her love for animals.
Numeroff is a great role model for kids, and she shows the power of our own silliness! Numeroff said: "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie was the tenth book I wrote. The idea came to me on a long, boring car trip. I don't know about you, but I get silly when I get bored." If only we could all learn to embrace our silliness like Numeroff!
Some of Her Success

Some of the later books include: If You Give a Moose a Muffin, and If You Give a Pig a Pancake.
Other great additions also include If You Take a Mouse to School, and If You Take a Mouse to the Movies. 
Running from one event to the next, these books will charm your preschooler and keep them smiling. The amazing illustrations (all done by Felicia Bond) are a perfect match with the text, which signal excitement with every turn of the page.
The action of each illustration tells a special story as well, which will amuse both you and your preschooler.

Her other books, such as The Chicken Sisters and What Mommies Do Best/What Daddies Do Best will also educate and entertain your preschooler.
