what More Can One Say About A Perky, Demanding Mouse Dressed In Blue Jean Coveralls That Has Not Already Been Said? After All, He Has Been Around For Twenty-five Years! He Has Delighted A Whole Generation Of Children With The Demands He Makes On A Young Boy Who Is Also Clad In Blue Jeans And Red High-top Sneakers. The Story Opens As The Unnamed Boy Offers A Mouse A Cookie. He Then Wants A Glass Of Milk (with A Straw) To Go With The Cookie. The Mouse Continues With His Demands. These Include A Napkin, Nail Scissors And A Broom That He Uses To Sweep The Entire House. Now The Mouse Is So Weary, He Needs A Place To Take A Nap And A Story (with Pictures). This Leads To A Request For Paper And Crayons So He May Draw His Own Picture, Which Must Then Be Hung On The Refrigerator. Now The Mouse Is Thirsty Again And Wants A Glass Of Milk And, Of Course, Another Cookie. The Final Page Shows The Exhausted Boy Sound Asleep Amid The Chaos Of The Day's Activities As The Mouse Contentedly Munches On A Chocolate Chip Cookie.
