Downtown StoryWalk®

Let’s read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie!

Read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond, while you’re strolling the Madison Chocolate Walk! What happens if you give a mouse a cookie? He may ask for something else, and you both may end up on an adventure!

Our Downtown Storywalk® will be on display from February 5th – 14th.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
