Using Open Educational Resources reminds me of the story, "If you Give a
Mouse aCookie"by Laura Numeroff and Illustrated by Felicia Bond
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:If_you_Give_a_Mouse_a_Cookie.jpg
![Page 24: The Potential of Open Resources for Your Classroom](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/5493c46db47959384d8b48e3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The book is known for its playful, circular
pattern. A boy gives a cookie to a mouse. The
mouse asks for a glass of milk. He then
requests a straw (to drink the milk), a mirror
(to avoid a milk mustache), nail scissors (to
trim his hair), and a broom (to sweep up).
Next he wants to take a nap, to have a story
read to him, to draw a picture, and to hang
the drawing on the refrigerator. Looking at the
refrigerator makes him thirsty, so he asks for
a glass of milk. The circle is complete when
he wants a cookie to go with it.
