If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is an Animated Adaptation of the 1985 children's picture book written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. It is released on Prime Video.The series started as a 2015 animated special based on the original book. It was written, developed and executive produced by Ken Scarborough, known for Arthur and Doug. The cartoon features the human boy (now named Oliver instead of being nameless) and mouse from the original picture book, with the cast rounded out by the animals from the other books, such as the pig, the moose, the cat, and the dog.Originally only one special was produced, but in September 2017, Amazon announced an actual television series, which premiered on November 7, 2017 as a production with Canada's Mercury Filmworks. The author and illustrator of the original books are both executive producers on the show.What Amazon describes as the second part of the first season was released on June 26th, 2018. A Valentine's Day special was released in February 2020, and more new episodes were released in 2021.

Immediate Self-Contradiction: In "Mouse and the Toy Factory," Mouse is invited to test toys at a toy factory by the owner and is allowed to bring his friends along as well. As they're headed there, he gushes about it, but Pig tells him not to get too excited and starts to say "It's probably just a—" but then cuts herself off as they arrive at the toy factory.

Bedsheet Ghost: All of the "ghosts" seen in the Halloween Episode "If You Give a Mouse a Pumpkin" are this. In particular, Cat has eight ghost decorations for his Halloween Spooktacular event and Moose dresses up in this costume for Halloween. In "The Haunted Toolshed," Mouse, Dog, Henry and Esme Louise all believe that there's a ghost in the toolshed, even though it's actually just Moose playing music and otherwise making racket. They finally decide to confront the ghost, but figure the ghost for sure will see them coming. They therefore all dress up as bedsheet ghosts and make ghostly moaning noises to disguise themselves.

Mundane Ghost Story: In "Sweet Dreams," Dog is scared to sleep after having a bad dream. His friends try to help him out and also relate their own bad dreams. These include Pig's dream about a being forced to sign way too many autographs after a ballet performance until she becomes exhausted, and Moose's dreams about being unable to find matching color antler mittens and not having enough honey for his blueberry corn muffin.

I've Heard of That — What Is It?: In "Looking After Lovey," Mouse tells Moose that the can be a reliable Lovey-sitter for him. He then says that if he's going to be a reliable Lovey-sitter for Moose, he first needs to know what "reliable" means. Oliver tells him that "reliable means that you're someone Moose can trust to keep Lovey safe."

Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: In "If You Give a Dog a Bath," Henry, Dog and Mouse want to play either Red Light, Green Light or Hide-and-Go-Seek and decide to play Red Light, Green Light Hide-and-Go-Seek, though once the seeker finds the first hider, it seems to basically just devolve into a game of chase with the rules of Red Light, Green Light in effect. In "The Haunted Toolshed," the characters hear a strange noise coming from a toolshed, which is actually just Moose making music with a jug. Dog declares it to be a ghost, or a monster. Henry says it could be a vampire or an alien. Dog suggests it could be a monster alien vampire ghost. Mouse says there's no such thing as any of them.

Trademark Favorite Food: While the books were all about each particular animal being given a particular type of treat, this is only carried for Mouse in the Animated Adaptation on Amazon, in which he is still very big on cookies, particularly chocolate chip. Though in the show, he doesn't seem to require milk, though he does like to have it with the cookie if it's around. He's even something of an advocate for cookies. In the story "Sick Day," in which all of the other animal characters get a cold, he invents a whistling system for them - one whistle for a glass of water, two whistles for hot soup and three if they want a cookie. They all say they're too sick to want a cookie, but he says they never know.

Catchphrase: "What do you think will happen next?" It's usually said by Oliver, the boy with the mouse, though occasionally by one of the other human characters that's a companion to one of the animals. It's present in song as well. At the end of each story, one of the characters will say "If you (give something to / do something with an animal) what do you think will happen next?", making it a Signing Off Catchphrase as well. Also, see Here We Go Again! below.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: In the If You Give a Mouse a Christmas Cookie animated special, Mouse and his friends accidentally wreck the decorations for a play that Mouse's boy, Oliver, has a big role in. Later, when Pig encounters Oliver, wondering where he can find Mouse, she tells him that Mouse is getting a haircut so that he'll look good when he sees him in the theater, which definitely hasn't had anything bad happen to it. In "Chalk-Tastrophe," Mouse and Pig lose Dog's favorite pink chalk down a drain. As they're trying to replace it, he shows up and asks about it. Mouse tells him that is chalk is fine and definitely not lost down a drain.
