If You Take A Mouse To The Movies (2000)

Story: Laura Numeroff -- Art: Felicia Bond

[haveyoureadthispoll]

If a hungry little traveler shows up at your house, you might want to give him a cookie. If you give him a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. He'll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache, and then he'll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim... The consequences of giving a cookie to this energetic mouse run the young host ragged, but readers of all ages will come away smiling at the antics that tumble like dominoes through the pages of this delightful picture book.

This was supposed to just be a rough sketch, but then I started getting really invested in it.

I hadn't initially intended to include so many picture book characters, but the nostalgia was overwhelming. Does anyone remember the animated short films produced by Weston Woods? My local library used to have a bunch of them on the Scholastic VHS tapes from the late 90s. (I know some shorts were released on the Children's Circle VHS tapes back in the 80s (🎶 Come on along! Come on along! Join the caravan!), and some were packaged in Sammy's Story Shop in 2008.)

Adventures in Librarian-ing

Today I was reading Beatrice Doesn't Want To by Laura Numeroff to the Grade 1s and when I got to the line that Beatrice hated libraries they all unanimously gasped in shock and horror.

One kid was frowning in deep disapproval.

BLOG MOD PSA: Something I want to clear up, because this piece of misinformation is really making the rounds lately.

Chris never posted the "Give a Dog a Donut" story reading to his IG account. BECAUSE IT WAS MADE BEFORE HE EVER HAD AN IG ACCOUNT. It was posted to the official Save with Stories IG account on March 26, 2020. Chris did not open his IG account until May 1, 2020. And, oh look, it's still there!

As far as I know, Chris never later reposted this to his IG account.

Please, let's not create conspiracy theories where there don't need to be conspiracy theories.

BSD character concepts (for legal purposes these are jokes)

Laura Numeroff: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie - Convinces you to do a small favor for her that starts to snowball into a series of increasingly weirder favors

Theodor Geisel: The Cat in the Hat - Forces you to speak in rhyme. Any mistake brings a massive vaguely cat shaped beast wielding a comically oversized mallet closer to you.

Chuck Tingle: Guide to Romance - Mimics your skill in a sexy way (Positive) 

EL James: Fifty Shades Darker - Mimics your skill in a sexy way (Negative) 

Stephen King: Christine - Just fucking runs you over It’s the Shining: Can read minds; each thought increases or decreases his sanity meter, a complete decrease turns him into a creature that copies people’s worst fears and will not turn back unless bombarded with fearlessness or after killing 27 people.

Suzanne Collins: The Hunger Games - Makes people around her more powerful based on how little money they have. (Definitely a vigilante type, I can imagine she’d constantly be trying to attack Fitzgerald)
