A great example of phonological awareness- full of alliteration and tons of fun sounds to make. One of the best picture books I've come across in a while. Keep your eyes open for hints of moose on many of the pages.

Great story with really fun illustrations. Randy Cecil is quickly becoming one of my favorite illustrators.

This is a fun book to read. Lots of alliteration and rhyming. Also there are lots of things to point out on each page (animals etc) as well as some well hidden moose to find. Good read for F (24 months)

Lots of onomatopoeia and fun repetition in this story of 4 children looking everywhere for a moose. Be sure to look closely at the illustrations as a few of them show moose hiding in the background. Humorous with lots of opportunity for interaction, this is a great group read aloud!

Another fun read aloud with 3, 4, 5 year olds- set them up to look for parts of the moose, had them put a finger on their nose when they found it (rather than calling out). With even younger groups, would be great for rhyming and movement (as you tromp through the bushes, wade through the swamp).

This book reminds me of how much my favorite four-year-olds enjoyed learning about onomatopoeia. I couldn't resist reading it aloud, even though no one was around to hear the magic.

Not too impressed. I've seen this type of book done much more effectively.

"Have you ever seen a moose --- a long-leggy moose-- a branchy-antler, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose?"
Join 4 friends as they go tromping through the woods, squelching through the swamp, scraping through the bushes, and scrambling up the hillside in their search for a moose. This book has lots of fun action words and sounds that children will love to repeat. And if your child has especially sharp eyes, he/she will locate some surprises amongst the illustrations. Clever and fun, a great read-aloud.
