I regret to inform you that this kind of thing doesn’t end as the kid ages out of toddlerhood. This morning our 6yo saw her younger sister wearing her dress. Which she hadn’t worn in at least a year. But suddenly, she NEEDED to wear that dress, and ONLY that dress. Major drama ensued.
It is amazing how much of our time as parents is spent giving our children exactly what they asked for, and them reacting with rage. I could not relate more to this entry. They really do make our hearts explode with love with cuteness only seconds after yelling or having a tantrum, don't they?
I haven’t read the Cat one; I’ll have to look for it for the grandkids. There is also “The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear” by Don & Audrey Wood.

This was fun! I like how it felt like a regular “if you give a mouse a cookie” book
This is pure genius!
Hahahaha. Too real. I feel seen.
Nice segue from Thursday’s best children’s book’s, Amy. Bravo.
Wait until you read “If You Give A Moose A Muffin” and “If You Give A Pig A Pancake”! 😂
We own both of those! And "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake"

Oh, love that one. Our favorite Wood book is King Bidgood's In the Bathtub!
Must add to the list for the grandkids!
If a toddler loves two things, it's cookies and rage screaming.
