We recently re-read If You Give A Moose A Muffin by Laura Numeroff. Ms.Numeroff is the author of 30 books ranging from the "An If You Give....Book" to "What (Grandmas, Grandpa, Sisters, Brothers, etc...Do Best set of books as well as many others including:The Chicken Sisters, Sherman Crunchly, and When Sheep Sleep.
Ms. Numeroff started telling and writing stories at age nine but thought about being a fashion designer until she felt that wasn't "my cup of tea" during her first year at college. She then switched to "illustration, animation and photography". If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the start of that popular series, was her tenth book. She donates a portion of the proceeds of many different books to charities ranging from The North American Riders for the Handicapped Association-NARHA- to Canine Assistance to First Book and other charities. For the most recent list of charities, visit her website. On her time off she enjoys watching films and driving through the country watching cows (a change from the twenty-five years she spent in New York.)
Our family has enjoyed reading Ms.Numeroff's books over the years and are happy to recommend her to others who may not, as of yet, discovered her fun creatures and cheerful storylines. For more information, visit her website at: www.lauranumeroff.com
