Books Alive! Literacy through the Arts leaps once again from the page to the stage by announcing its Fall 2009 production of, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, based on the book by Laura Joffe Numeroff. Books Alive! is a dynamic interactive program, which introduces children to the wonderful world of books, the joy of reading and stimulates a desire for lifelong literacy through a professional musical play, adapted from the featured book.
