review:
'If You Give A Man a Cookie: A Parody' by Laura Numeroff with illustrations by Brian Ajhar is a parody based on something written by the same author, and it's a pretty funny one.

When my son was little, we read the book 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie' so many times that I could recite it without looking at the pages (other parents know what I'm talking about). There were a whole string of these books about mooses and muffins, pigs and pancakes, etc. So it's only natural that the author would put out a parody of her own corner of the publishing industry.

A man gets a cookie from his wife, which sets off a whole chain of events, starting with making her get him some milk. There are wet towels on the floor, folded laundry (not by the husband), and falling asleep on the couch along the way.

This is a parody book for grown ups. It is probably best enjoyed by those familiar with what is being parodied. The art is pretty comical, as is the text of the book.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
