If You Give a Moose a Muffin by Laura Numeroff is a funny and engaging tale that is appropriate for children ages four and up (but younger will enjoy as well). If a big moose came to your house, you would give him a muffin and then some jam to go with it and so on. This book is a silly story that many children would love during mealtime or anytime! I relate to this book because sometimes my life feels a bit like this. If you give your child milk, they will want a cookie. If they want a cookie, they will need a napkin, etc……..With this book you can work on many language concepts such as sequencing, improving vocabulary, answering “wh” questions, phonemic awareness, prepositions, size (moose is very big!), colors and much more. Have your child retell the story or make their own story about their favorite food. This book is a popular one in my house because I am constantly making muffins and jam 🙂
