If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

by: Laura Numeroff

Laura Numeroff visited our "Global Classroom" Web pages and sent us a very nice note. I decided to read her book to my younger students and have them write to Laura. Here are their letters. - Patti

Mrs. Hurchalla's students wrote their own circle story!

Dear Shaun, Sarah, Billy, Brenna, Davinia, Debbie, Dominique, Katie, Ronald and Tevin,

THANK YOU so much for your letters and the pictures of you! What a thrill it was for me to find them on the web! This is the first time I've had an experience like this and it's VERY exciting. I love using my computer and am learning more about it all the time. It also makes it much easier to write stories. When I learn how to use my new scanner, I can send pictures, too.

I'm so glad you enjoy my book because I love writing. I just finished IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A CHRISTMAS TREE and will be working on IF YOU GIVE A BEAR A BROWNIE and IF YOU GIVE A CAT A CUPCAKE.

One day I hope to live on a little farm and have LOTS of animals...cows, horses, dogs and llamas and I'd love to be able to have rabbits, mice, hamsters and maybe a raccoon! I would also LOVE to be able to raise a foal.

Sincerely,
Laura Numeroff
