If You Take a Mouse Five-Book Set (If You Take a Mouse to the Movies If You Take a Mouse to School If You Give a Moose a Muffin If You Give a Mouse a Cookie If You Give a Pig a Pancake) by. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) -Emilie Coulter ![]() The moral of the story? Keep plenty of muffin mix and blackberry jam in your cupboard. ![]() Children will relate easily to the full-circle reasoning of the story, while picking up the concept of cause and effect. Through just a few deft words and brush strokes, the reader gets a real sense of the unique personalities of the two characters. What moose wouldn't want to borrow a sweater when it's cold outside? And why shouldn't the loose button on the sweater remind him of his grandmother? Bond's cleverly detailed, witty illustrations perfectly complement Numeroff's deadpan style. ![]() It all makes perfect sense, really, once you stop to think about it. Readers will follow a young boy and his voracious visitor through a series of antlered antics: jam reveries and puppet shows and big messes. "If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it." So begins the most logical silliness to be found anywhere-at least since Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond's If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. ![]()

Ponder says she is grateful for the encouragement and the opportunities on offer. “It’s fantastic to have my writing recognised by The Wright Family Foundation and multi-award-winning writer, Lee Murray. The residency comes with a week’s uninterrupted writing time at Bay of Plenty country manor, a small stipend, community outreach, and peer support. Works like Joe Halderman’s The Forever War, Ursula Le Guin’s The Word for World is Forest, and the surge of cli-fi from some of our great New Zealand authors are testament to the power of speculative fiction to deal with difficult topics.” “As a fantasy writer, opportunities and accolades are rare, despite the importance of speculative fiction in negotiating the modern world. “I’m excited and honoured to be this year’s winner,” says Ponder from her hillside home in Wellington.
