The Cookie Moon

One night, the moon looked just like a big round cookie.

One night, the moon looked just like a big round cookie. Golden and yummy.

"I want to eat the moon!" said Little Mouse. He climbed up the tallest hill.

He reached and reached. But the moon was too far away. "I need to be taller!" he said.

Little Mouse stacked some books. He stood on his tippy toes. Still too far!

He asked Giraffe for help. He climbed on Giraffe's long neck. Still too far!

Little Mouse sat down and sighed. "I will never reach the cookie moon."

Then Mama Mouse came. She had a plate of real cookies. Round and golden, just like the moon!

"These moon cookies are for you," she said with a smile.

Little Mouse took a bite. Mmmm! They were even better than the real moon.

He sat on the hill with Mama, eating cookies and looking at the moon. "This is perfect," he said.
