If you take a mouse to school, he'll ask you for your lunch box. When you give him your lunch box, he'll want a sandwich to go in it. Then he'll need a notebook and some pencils. He'll probably want to share your backpack, too . . . The famous mouse from the "New York Times" #1 best-seller "If You Take a Mouse to the Movies" and "If You give a Mouse a Cookie" is back for his first day of school. Only Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond could make school this much fun.
