Thanks to a few baby showers and an array of generous
relatives, Clay already has a library to rival that of any university in volume.
His books range from the classics (Goodnight
Moon, Pat the Bunny) to the somewhat
bizarre (Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, We’re Going On a Bear Hunt), and most
relay a lesson of some sort for their small readers (a vast majority pertain to
going to sleep – hint, hint Clay).
But others throw conventional wisdom completely out the
door. Such as If You Give a Moose a
Muffin, the companion tale to If You
Give a Mouse a Cookie story and an absolutely horrible book. The gist of
the story, about a boy who fulfills a moose’s increasingly challenging and
ridiculous demands (a muffin is just the beginning), is that if you a moose
something you’re going to have to also give him something else after. The moose
is a complete tyrant and the boy doesn’t seem to know how to say no. I’m pretty
sure my wife picked out this book.

Note From Eleanor: Maybe
you shouldn’t be so hard on a book about a talking moose.
