Looking for a Moose

Looking for a Moose by Phyllis Root

Summary: Four children set off into the woods to find a moose.

My Thoughts: I spy skills are used in this funny story of four children who can't seem to see the moose that they are looking for in the woods! Readers will see the moose when the children in the story cannot! A fun read aloud with onomatopoeia!

Mouse and Mole: Fine Feathered Friends

Mouse and Mole: Fine Feathered Friends by Wong Herbert Yee

Summary: When spring arrives, Mole and Mouse find a unique way to watch birds.

My Thoughts: The summary is short and sweet but it doesn't give you an idea of how funny this book really is! Mouse and Mole have trouble bird watching because they are always scaring the birds away before they can get close enough to see them. So they decide to dress up like birds and invade the nest to get close enough to really do some bird watching! You have to read the book to see if this creative solution really works! This title won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award.
