If You Give A Cat A Cupcake

Laura Numeroff writes childrens books. She is known for books such as "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie", "If You Give A Pig A Pancake" and "If You Give A Moose A Muffin". Her books aren't all food themed. She also has such titles as "If You Take A Mouse To The Movies" and many more.

I was on Amazon purchasing a cupcake related item and discovered a Numeroff book entitled "If You Give A Cat A Cupcake". Being that I have an obsession with cupcakes and I enjoy a good child's book, it caught my attention.



According to Amazon.com the book involves a girl (who apparently was in the If You Give A Pig A Pancake book) and a cat who get into some crazy hijinks with cupcakes.

I do remember the Numeroff series as I used to work in a bookstore many years ago. I remember thinking the books were cute. I am an avid reader so the next time I make a trip to the book store I may have to wander into the childrens section. I think I'll probably check out the If You Give A Pig A Pancake book as well as the title sounds so delightfully random.

One of the 2009 winners at the 4th Annual Edible Books Festival

As I was looking for information on the book, I discovered that Clermont College in Cincinnati celebrated their 4^th Annual Edible Books Festival on April 1, 2009. Students, staff memebers and certain organizations are allowed to particpiate. The two rules state that the project must include a book and must be edible.

Numeroffs books are meant for kids ages 2 and up. Heh..uh..how up there are we talking? Either I have a childlike spark in me or I am regressing.
