If You Take a Mouse to School

By Laura Numeroff

Mouse goes to school in this picture book in the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling If You Give… series! If you take a mouse to school, he’ll ask you for your lunch box. When you give him your lunch box, he’ll want a sandwich to go in it. Then he’ll need a notebook and some pencils. He’ll probably want to share your backpack, too.
