An ear-tickling, eye-teasing romp for little listeners, led by an award-winning author and illustratorDo 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.

"Have you ever seen a moose - a long-leggy moose - a branchy-antler, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose?This is the question asked by one of the four children in this tale of a moose search as she asks her three friends and fuzzy little dog before they enter the woods. Thus begins the journey of the five friends searching for a moose. This opening is actually a sort of little index or table of content for the rest of this wonderfully amusing story.This work is an easy book to read and is absolutely ideal for either a one on one read or a group read. As the children and dog progress through various environments; woods, swamps, bushes, mountains, we need to keep a close eye on the little dog and a sharper eye on our surroundings. As the children search for the illusive moose they become more and more discouraged that there simply are no moose to be seen! Or are there?Warning....a spoiler follows: Yes, there are moose; there are moose all over the place as the little dog could quite tell them if they paid attention or if they looked closer at their surroundings. The illustrator, Randy Cecil has rather ingeniously hidden bits and pieces of moose throughout the book and the kids get an absolute kick out of trying to find them once the realize they are there.The rhyming of the text is delightful to the ear and makes is an absolute pleasure to read aloud. I can promise you that the author's word play will bring a smile to your lips and giggles from the wee ones. Each line of text goes perfectly with the illustrations which are colorful, soothing and woodsy.
