What a silly book!  And what child doesn't like silliness.  My children are always asking <a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Give-Cupcake-Give-Books/dp/0060283246/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1223441274&amp;sr=1-1"><img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61NBOpqTsUL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg" alt="" /></a>the "what if" questions.  This book (and others by this author) are prefect for this type of thinking and reminds me of <a href="http://www.flylady.net">Flylady's</a> SHEs (side-tracked home executives).  The little cat jumps from thought to thought and place to place quickly as each new idea brings about a new and different idea or place to visit!   And always a mess to be made!  This is a quick read and perfect for three to seven year olds.  I would even bet that some seven year olds could read this to a younger sibling!

Disclosure: This book was graciously sent to me by HarperCollins Publishing.<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/304/EEE1F54002A9726BAA54E258ED3FE4AD.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>]]></description>

If You Give a Cat a Cupcake is.... strange little book, how be it very colorful.  The story is about a cat who is continually getting side-tracked!  The little girl just wants to give him a cupcake, but he wants sprinkle on it, which takes them on many, many adventures. 
<P>
The adventure takes us to the beach, the gym, rock climbing, rowing, carousel, museum, back to the beach, back home and finally back to that cupcake!  Whew...what a distracted cat!
<P>
The illustrations in this book are very good, there are a lot of items point out and discuss.
<P>
A very, very different book, I'd say.
