Four children set off into the woods to find a moose. An ear-tickling, eye-teasing romp for little listeners, led by an award-winning author and illustrator. Do you really, really want to see a moose - a long-leggy moose - a branchy-antler, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose? Spurred by Phyllis Root's sing-songy text and Randy Cecil's buoyant illustrations, this hunt for an elusive moose through woods, swamps, bushes, and hills is just as fun as the final surprise discovery of moose en masse. Children will laugh at the running visual joke - what is that little dog looking at? - and ask for repeated reads of this satisfying tale.

Fantastic! submitted by rsivaraj on August 19, 2011, 3:57pm Loads of fun to read and re-read. Try to find the moose's body parts in different parts of the forest along with the kids... the dog is the only one who finds him every time - so cleverly done!
