Numeroff is a philanthropist with a soft spots for kids and dogs. She not only works with service dogs and children with disabilities, but she donates a portion of her royalties to an organization called Book First, a non-profit that gives new books to children who would not otherwise have access to them. She also donated all the royalties from The Hope Tree - Kids Talk About Cancer, to the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
- Laura Numeroff interview - though she has a hard time getting a word in edgewise, there's some great information in this interview.
- If You Give a Mouse a Cookie read aloud and animated version (done by a college student for a course).
Head to your local library and check out a pile of Numeroff's books - there are tons to choose from and you'll love every one!
