I used to read this book as a child and enjoyed it greatly. The story line about the blue moose becoming head waiter shows the imagination that Mr. Pinkwater needs in childrens' writing. I believe that it also teaches children to accept others.

This is a fantastic, creative children's story that I treasured as a young boy 30 years ago. It resonates with warmth, coziness, and subtle humor that always made me chuckle. It's a perfect bedtime or story-time book, cozied up with the kids and everyone sharing in it with a huge smile on their face. Imagine a huge moose, frozen blue from the Canadian cold, barging into a little restaurant in northern Maine one day and asking for a job as head waiter. My dad would ham it up with the voices, and now I do the same for my own kids. I was thrilled to come upon a copy on Amazon, as my original copy was lost over the decades. This book is a treasure, and now MY kids love it as much as I did.

I just love this book. I read this book when I was a child. It had so many comical parts that even now as an adult it will be one that I read to my children and include in our home library.

This story is about a blue moose that starts out being a nuisance to a restaurant/inn keeper and ends up a welcome assistant.

Children will delight in this book.

Bought this book used after hearing D.M. Pinkwater read a portion of it on NPR. It has become a favorite read-aloud book in our home. It is charming and hilarious-- fun for the young and the young at heart.

Charming line drawings augment the story of a domesticated, yet wild, moose that becomes head waiter at a forest restaurant.

It is a very good and beautiful book

This book is very great. I enjoy reading it very much . I recommend to all kids to read this book."BLUE MOOSE" is a book for every one.
