So...What is the BEST Book You've Ever Read?

Wassup, ya'll? It's T.R. back again with another great question placed upon his lap by the fabulous Mrs. G. Today's subject deals with a very, VERY dear book to me.

Though I may not have it in my possession at the moment (before I began typing this blog, I placed an order for it on Amazon. Yezzir!), this particular book continues to poke at the inner "Big-Kid" in me, and make me smile at the same time. It is a book that is so simple, yet it takes the reader on such an adventure in such a short amount of time that one can't help but smile and realize how timeless the book really is. Yes, ya'll, this book is THAT GOOD. You don't believe me? Then pick up the next copy of If You Give A Mouse A Cookie... and see for yourself!

Why is this book such a masterpiece in my eyes? My honest answer? I have no clue. But, this book is one of the few that I can sit down and read, and read, and read...and every single time that I read it, it will amuse me over and over again.

Even the spin-offs are great: If You Give A Pig A Pancanke, If You Give A Moose A Muffin, If You Give A Cat A Cupcake...yes, they're all classics. Laura Joffe Numeroff knew what she was doing when she wrote this material. Like...for real. The original book, my favorite in this case, still remains the "OG" of all children's books when it comes to my personal taste.

I can't explain fully why I love it because there's so much to it. The pictures and scenarios are entertaining, cute, and just plain funny. The storyline and the pace of the book makes you WANT to turn the page to see what happens next. The amount of imagination and creativity put into this book shows just how good it is. I'm a Big Kid at heart, like I said before, so when I come across a book like this, I can't help but grab it, take a sit-down, and read it. It takes me back to years when life, in a sense, was simple. Fun. Entertaining. New...it gives me the ability to set aside the "semi-mature, young adult" side of me, and revert back to my own innocence. I Love the fact that it can do that. Really. I do, and I'm not afraid to admit it, either.

I Love this book. Plain and simple.

So what is the BEST book I've ever read?

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie..., by Laura Joffe Numeroff.

I'll holla at you later.

Peace, Much Love, and God Bless.
