Title: A Moose That Says Moooooooooo!
Author: Jennifer Hamburg
Illustrator: Sue Truesdell
Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux
Ages: 4 to 8
Synopsis: Everything starts out fine in the imagination of one young girl when she decides to create her own zoo with a moose that can moo and book reading sharks. But soon things get out of hand as everything from zoo pillow fights to an all-duck jazz band creates havoc in the afternoon. How will she corral those crazy critters and restore order once more to her back yard?
Why you should read it: The illustrations of this book kind of remind me of Shel Silverstein's lovely drawings in THE GIVING TREE. With an ox as a short-order cook and skunks jumping rope, who WOULDN'T want to check out this zany zoo? I enjoyed turning the pages to discover the next what-if in this adorable tale of one girl's imagination gone wild on a lazy summer afternoon.
