I fell in love with this Canadian Moose the first time I read my Grandson the story book from the library.

I only have 5 Elliot books in this series, so my recommendation is based on that.

1) Elliot Gets Stuck - "Spring is here!" and Elliot is in haste to get outside to enjoy it. I fell in love with Elliot, when he got stuck in the door's mail slot. His friends come to his rescue and try to pull and push and then seek help.

2) Elliot's Bath - Elliot and his friend Socks get splattered with paint and the solution is a bath. When Socks is able to get out of the bath, I noticed that her fabric has changed color. The friends have to unite once again to assist Elliot in this delightful story.

3) Elliot's Emergency - is dear to my heart, as my grandchildren are always bringing to me their stuffed friends to be mended up. Elliot has his friends once again to aide him when they find him whimpering, imagining himself as "an empty shell of fur". You will get to know the other friends as they one, by one try a different method to resolve this issue.

4) Elliot Digs For Treasure - This time we find the adventure no one wants to be on. Elliot and friends have dug a hole - way too deep - in order to find the treasure. Not realizing until too late that they have no way of getting out of the hole. They are in another pickle and use all their imaginations possible to find a way to get out.

5) Elliot Bakes A Cake - You will learn from a child's point of view how it seems to be baking a cake without understanding the terms involved. I found this funny and yet victorious as in the end they have accomplished baking a surprise Birthday cake for Lionel. There is included Elliot's recipe for the cake. Be prepared to take time out to bake a cake with your little one after you've introduced them to this book.

These 5 books are full of situations that a child might similarly get into. Friends rally around and they are able to rescue one another when the situation arises. Delightful stories, nothing nasty in them; everything is in a positive light.

Andrea Beck, a Canadian author, has done a lovely job of bringing adventures to our children. The illustrations are bright and not over done with the pages full of `too' much for the little ones to enjoy.

I ordered this as hardcover used from Got Books Inc through Amazon's website (and have paper and emailed receipts to prove I ordered hardcover). They sent me paperback. Not cool. Pretty cheap, so not worth sending back. But I'm pretty annoyed right now. Just ordered a "new" copy hardcover from a different amazon seller. If this doesn't turn out right, this will be the last time. So not happy right now.

My 2 year old son loves all the Elliot Moose and friend's stories (since we started reading them to him when he was a few months old). He loves to have us read them to him over and over. Recently, he started "reading" them to us! Elliot is such a loving character, that has fun adventures with his friends. These books also have wonderful illustrations we use to teach our son, and have him point out things he knows and learn new words.

"Elliot Bakes a Cake" is another wonderful story from Andrea Beck in which Elliot works together with his friends to do something nice.

In this one, it's their friend Lionel's birthday. They've decided to make a cake, but haven't quite mastered the art of cooking. Though things are rocky, in the end, they come with a great way to still celebrate Lionel's birthday.

This is the second book in the Elliot Moose series.

I love this story and the pictures of the toys are really good.It made me happy and sad and parts of it were funny. I like how everyone helped each other figure out the recipe. Elliot is very cute. My mom and I are going to make the cake and I think everyone should get this book!

Elliott the Moose leads his stuffed animal buddies in an adventure to make a birthday cake for Lionel Lion. They've got lots of problems in the kitchen, the least of which is how to open the full-sized oven! Separating eggs proves to cause great problems as do other directions in the recipe. The stuffed animals are cute. The fabrics the illustrated has used to create them have wonderful texture and colors. The cake recipe is at the end of the book. Good book to share with young ones who are learning to cook.
