Reddit reviews If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

I thought for sure you’d say it’ll ask for a glass of milk.

Basically two versions of the same story

Moose
Mouse

This book. I am truly sorry that your childhood wasn't graced by this wonderful book.

..Also don't go giving moose muffins either.

They have an excellent book about this, I can assure you its a quick read. Whatever you do, I wouldn't let her stay for free. Talk to whoever helped you with the original contract (attorney or agent) about the best way to extend this. But make sure its in writing and in exchange for money

It's the #1 Seller in "Children's Mouse & Rodent Books" according to Amazon.

Sounds like, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Yup, I read a good book on the post-Vatican reforms, you might like it.

I can share my experience, though I'm not sure if it will reinforce your position or not.

I, an emotionally stunted individual because of massive abuse suffered as a child, was in the habit of laying my self-esteem and approval at the feet of my wife. If she didn't like me, then I felt like shit. If she rejected me, I felt like shit.

If I was feeling like shit, then I acted like shit, which led her to find me repellent, therefore she would continue rejecting me. Which made me feel like shit...

Kind of like If you Give a Mouse a Cookie, only psychotic.

After far too long, and a potentially unrecoverable marital bed, I finally snapped out of it, and realized that the only person who was responsible for my self-esteem was me. And as it turns out, I kind of like myself.

So, now I'm taking time for myself: recovering neglected friendships, getting into the best shape of my life, learning new hobbies, and practicing old ones. Problem is, these things are all independent of her, and the gulf between us grows day by day.

> But this doesn't explain why the infinite cycle of universes exists rather than not--and that's what we're looking to do.

1. There does not need to be a reason.
   
   
2. Even if you think there does need to be a reason, adding a god into the equation, exactly analogous to the above argument, does not actually solve the problem at all--it only pushes it one step back (why a god rather than not?), while simultaneously adding extra complexity and reducing elegance for no benefit.
   
   > increased explanatory power ... Likewise, the theist is proposing that divine attributes give us a way of explaining why the universe is the particular way it is.
   
   You explained what caused one thing, but then opened up a new question about what caused the other thing you just hypothesized.
   
   X, and (Why X vs not-X ?)
   
   is now
   
   Y --> X, and (Why Y vs not-Y ?)
   
   You have just as many question marks / things still to explain as you started with, so you've gotten nowhere. Yet you've also added complexity.
   
   Lose-lose. (Or neutral-lose, I suppose)
   
   Again, you've merely pushed your problems back one step for no reason.
   
   Same concept as: https://www.amazon.com/If-You-Give-Mouse-Cookie/dp/0060245867

This book for your kiddo or any other Laura Numeroff book. My girls would love this book, because they need a new bedtime story. Green eggs and ham.

> I honestly don’t care about gun rights.

That’s your issue.

> get off your high horse and meet these kids in the middle.

Here’s a book I highly recommend. The principle applies to anyone with an agenda. Don’t fool yourself into thinking they’ll be satisfied with a compromise.

Get those kids some books!

Books are wonderful. My 4year old is beginning to read and its great!! She loves Pete the Cat books.

The book I recall reading as a kid was If you Give A Mouse A Cookie I absolutely loved reading that book, i thought it was so funny that a mouse could want so many things. This was one of my favorite books.

Thanks for the contest.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie By Laura Numeroff will teach your child a great lesson to think before you act. It is brilliant and I recommend it to everyone of all ages.

I'm going to piggyback this post by highlighting a few things that an overhaul should encompass, instead of just the venting above.

• Get things done. Above all else, fix issues fast, as fast as possible. Never put it off.
  
• Don't let people make you do their jobs for them. Set reasonable expectations, because if you give a mouse a cookie...
  
• Communication and CYA. Quickly and efficiently record notes. This goes along with GTD.
  
• Use a good ticket system. I've had a lot of luck with RT
  
• Push the boundaries of whats acceptable at your institution. If the HR people take 4 weeks to fill out a form, finance takes 6 weeks to put your direct deposit in, don't let that be the speed marker. No issues more than 2 days old. No projects left undocumented.
  
  Long story short, you have the power to make yourself look VERY good. Its going to involve micromanagement and establishing a helpdesk culture. Make 0 tickets your goal. Every time 0 tickets is reached, give them a small reward. Make 0 tickets a mantra.

Oh, I <3 looking for books for my kids!! They are 14, 13, 12, 11, and 5. Our son is the youngest, and he loves all the books that his older sisters loved when they were younger. :D

  Thank you for the contest!

ALL of the "If You Give" books! I remember loving those a ton and reading them to my younger siblings. :)

Get those kids some books!

If I win, surprise me! :) I have a huge book list, and used books are perfectly alright.

Whatever you do, don't give the mouse a cookie.

Yes I am. Illegals have no right to vote or participate in anything, full stop. Allow me to point you to this treatise on what happens when you let liberals push something small, like a school board election.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

I really liked The Monster at the End of this Book, The Poky Little Puppy, Persnickety, Corduroy, Where the Wild Things Are, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, The Rainbow Fish, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, The Stinky Cheese Man, Miss Nelson is Missing, Go Away Big Green Monster, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Stone Soup, Frog and Toad, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, and, of course, every Dr. Seuss book.

> Now you have poor uneducated people that are angry, that will quickly think in a group collective thanks to the wonders of the internet, and have literally nothing to lose, committing violence in order to get their way

That's already happening both here and in Europe. They'll always want more, which they'll use to make more of themselves.

This classic work of political allegory is worth a read.
