5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book!, January 27, 2000

This review is from: Blue Moose (Paperback)

THIS BOOK MUST BE REPRITED! I remember having a teacher read this book to my class and it was really funny. Who would ever dream up about a blue moose who does the things that he does except Pinkwater. We need more books like this one! I would love to have a copy of this book and of THE BLUE MOOSE RETURNS. Everyone should read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book of all time!, October 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue moose (Unbound)

Blue Moose is an excellent short book for kids to learn on. I first read it at the age of 12, when I was reading quite well, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I haven't met any other Blue Moose fans other than my friends and myself, and that disappoints me.This book should definitely be reprinted. I am not a tame moose!!!

I can't say enough about this book. I loved it so much, I inhaled everything I could find by Pinkwater. Although I haven't read it in years, the memories of scenes in this book are so real to me, that I feel like I was there. I still can't eat chowder or gingerbread without remembering the Blue Moose.
