I love the book If You Give A Mouse a Cookie. I haven’t read all the others in the series, just the original that this play is based on. I’m pretty sure I read it to my little sister when she was small. I’m very old and she’s very young so I would have been a teenager reading it to her when she was a toddler. Aww sweet sister memories.
Stage One Children’s Theatre is opening its first show next weekend, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, based on the wildly successful “If You Give…” book series by Lara Numeroff (If You Give a Pig a Party, If You Give a Moose a Muffin, etc.). It’s a first reader, so appropriate for ages 3-8, but it’s a lot of fun as a hungry little mouse shows up on boy’s doorstep and asks for a cookie. Then our little mouse will soon need milk, and then a napkin, and then a haircut, and then…you get the idea!
It’s an hour long, tickets are $12.50, families can meet the cast afterwards and the kids can take photos with the cast and sign autographs in the lobby.
We have 2 shows on Saturday, September 11 at 11 am and 2 pm, and then again a few weeks later on Saturday, October 9 at 11 am and 2 pm.
For tickets folks can call the KY Center Box Office at 584-7777, order online at www.kentuckycenter.org or buy in person at the box office.
I have a set of four tickets to give away to either of the Saturday September 11 shows. So perfect for a family of four or a family of three plus a friend, or two families of two, you get the point.
To be entered to win just leave a comment telling us what your favorite children’s book is. I’ll choose one winner at random from all the entries I receive by noon on Wednesday September 8.

I enjoyed reading *Barnyard Dance* to my little son over and over again.

My favorite book as a child was The Beast in the Bathtub. My dad and I would read it together fairly often. We would both start giggling quickly into the book and would eventually have to put the book down for a minute until we could stop laughing about it enough to continue reading. It was a great book!

My favorite book as a kid was “The Monster at the End of This Book” by Grover (of Sesame Street fame…know him?).
My daughters both love it as well.

We love books, so it’s hard to pick just one. But right now, it’s ‘That’s Not My Monster’ and ‘Little Farm by the Sea.’

Easily my favorite children’s books were from Shel Silverstein. They are also quickly becoming my daughter’s number one night-time read. Another great title is The Stinky Cheeseman. Not to be missed.

“Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch
I have read this story to my 4 and 7 year old children since before they were born. I had the bittersweet joy of reading this to my husband’s 100 year old grandmother a few days before she died. She smiled. The circle of life is amazing.
