16-Page Read: If You Give A… series
August 25, 2008
If You Give… series By Laura Numeroff (Illustrated by Felicia Bond)
If you give a daddy a good children’s book, he’s going to want to read it.
When he reads it, he’s going to enjoy it. You should watch out – he’s going to want a computer to type on.
He’ll write and write about how cool the book is. He’ll be so happy with it, he’ll want to show everyone, which means you’ll have to get him a printer.
A new printer never comes with a good ink cartridge, though. So of course you’ll need to go to the store.
When you go to pick up the cartridge, he’s going to want to go with to make sure you get the right one. And naturally, he’s going to want a new box of pens, too.
If you buy him the pens, he’s going to want something to write in. A Moleskin, maybe. So you’ll need to go to Barnes and Noble.
When he finally gets his notebook, he’s going to start writing. Eventually, though, he’ll run out of things to write about.
He’ll think about what he does best.
And then he’s going to ask you for a good children’s book.

Aaahhhh…The circle story. Every K-2 student’s favorite text structure. Good job with that review, Corey.
I love this book. Laura and Felicia are rock stars of children’s lit. Have you gotten into, “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”? My favorite part is when, all of sudden, the moose is doing a psychedelic puppet show.
Yes. I love Moose/Muffin. My favorite is still “If You Give a Pig a Party.”
