The show.
In the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie series, based on the beloved books by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond, we get to know Mouse, Pig, Moose, Dog and Cat and their favorite humans. When Mouse and friends get together, one thing always leads to another in the most unexpected ways. You just never know where things will end up, but you can be sure that IF Mouse and Friends go on an adventure together, THEN they will just have to have fun the whole time.
our take
“This show brilliantly translates the cause-and-effect storytelling of the books into a format that respects children's attention. Pacing is measured, the animation uses warm, natural tones, and each episode models cooperative problem-solving between Oliver and Mouse. The language is inventive and playful, making it a top pick for vocabulary development.”
