Grant Barrow- the Author

Grant wrote some stories today to go along with the books- If You Give a Pig a Party, If You Give a Pig a Pancake, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake, If You Give a Moose a Muffin, etc. Here they are for your enjoyment...

If You Give a Gorilla a Gumball

If you give a Gorilla a gumball, he’ll want to blow bubbles.

Blowing bubbles will remind him of going outside.

Outside, he’ll put his gumball in the sand. Then he’ll pretend the sand is sprinkles.

He’ll ask for some water to make a gumball mud pie.

And chances are, if he makes a gumball mud pie, he’ll ask you to eat it with him.

If You Give a Jaguar a Blanket

If you give a jaguar a blanket, he’ll just ask for a bad cheetah to get him.

A bad cheetah will remind him of a jaguar plate.

On the jaguar plate there will be some jelly beans and the jaguar will want to play marbles with them.

When he is playing marbles, he’ll ask the cheetah to play with him and he’ll want to chase him and get his girlfriend.

The girlfriend will like the jaguar and they will get married in the temple.

And chances are, if they get married, they will get a blanket for a present.

If You Give a Baboon a Walrus Toy

If you give a baboon a walrus toy, they will get married in the temple.

Then they will go on a plane to Cheetahville and play with all the cheetahs.

Playing with all the cheetahs will remind them of the farm.

So they will fly to a farm.

On the farm there will be chickens.

The baboon and walrus toy will give them leaves (cuz baboons like leaves).

The leaves will make baboon think of a tree so he’ll climb a tree and eat fruit.

Then he will be happy.
