Four kids go into the woods in search of a "long-leggy, branchy-antlered, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose." Although they've never seen one, they're sure they'll know it when they do!
Amusingly, there are little leggy, branchy, bulgy moose parts sneaking out of the illustrations throughout the double pages spreads. Kids will probably need a little encouragement to spot the clues but with the repeated phrases and simple rhyme, it'll be fun to try!

I love the playfulness of the language in this offering. It should be useful on many levels. I read it to my two and a half year old granddaughter, and she enjoyed it. The illustrations are quirky and fun.
I can see Readers' Theater possibilities for this one! Lots of wonderful vocabulary and opportunities to add expression! Narration parts could be added to describe the clues that students see.
