For Fans of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie submitted by skcramer on July 15, 2013, 9:34pm A frustrated narrator tries to advise a young adventurer how to stay safe on an African safari, but as the boy disregards each instruction, he sets off a change of hilarious disasters only to end up in back in the predicament that started everything. Reminiscent of Numeroff’s classic If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, this picture book prompts plenty of page turns as young readers wonder how the boy will get out of each successive mess – and how he will get into the next one. The playful interactions between the narrator and the boy is also a delightful twist on the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie trope, though it is not particularly clear from the beginning that there is a narrator speaking and young readers may at first assume the boy himself is narrating. Nevertheless, readers who enjoy the interactive narrative style of Willems’ Pigeon series will likely appreciate the narrator here. The cartoonish illustrations add to the humor, with the animal’s expressions and the boy’s over-the-top reactions provide many a laugh.
