If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a 1985 children's picture book written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. Each page has a large, colorful picture and short sentence telling the story of a (nameless yet eponymous) mouse and an equally nameless boy. The story starts, naturally, with the boy giving the mouse a cookie. The story goes on from there, with the mouse needing a new item on each page. It ends up with the mouse, once again, wanting a cookie.The many, many sequels (If You Give a Moose a Muffin, If You Give a Pig a Pancake, If You Give a Bear a Brownie, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake, If You Give a Dog a Donut, If You Give a Mouse a Brownie) all follow approximately the same plot, with variations on the animal and food item.In 2015, an animated special based on the original book was released on Prime Video. A full television series followed, which premiered on November 7, 2017 as a production with Canada's Mercury Filmworks.A narrated version of the original story was also featured on an episode of Reading Rainbow in 1993. | |

Talking Animal | |
| If You Give a Mouse a Cookie / int_1f14978d | comment |
Talking Animal: The eponymous mouse and other characters in the spin-off books. Same for the animated series, though perhaps moving up a bit on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism. | |

Here We Go Again! | |
| If You Give a Mouse a Cookie / int_6edc54d5 | comment |
Here We Go Again!: The last page has the mouse, once again, wanting a cookie (to go with his glass of milk). In the animated series, it's something of a Catchphrase. | |

| If You Give a Mouse a Cookie / int_b5049d76 | comment |
Added Alliterative Appeal: All but the first book alliterated the animal with the food, with the exception of If You Give a Mouse a Brownie, which featured the return of the original animal, the mouse. | |

Hard Truth Aesop | |
| If You Give a Mouse a Cookie / int_bbc77bb5 | comment |
Hard Truth Aesop: The series revolves around a Central Theme of how generosity breeds dependency, and that boundaries need to be drawn so that it never escalates to that point. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| If You Give a Mouse a Cookie / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: With each item the animal of the story receives, they end up wanting something else, often with the reasons getting crazier as they can go from wanting pancakes to moving into a treehouse. | |

Stock Animal Diet | |
| If You Give a Mouse a Cookie / int_e329a741 | comment |
Stock Animal Diet: Averted. This mouse eats cookies— with milk, of course— and brownies with ice cream. The other animals aren't any more stock diet in their tastes. | |
