This book has lovely colorful illustrations that easily catch the attention of the reader and small listener. By looking closely at the illustrations there are subtle humorous finds that add to the written content. The larger size of the book makes it easier to hold during reading for an adult or a child. This book is a wonderful addition to any classroom or childs collection.

"Some children like cats. Some children like dogs. I like moose." Young, red-headed Molly declaration is somewhat of an understatement, as her bedroom contains a Moose - "Next 3 Miles" sign, a moose clock, moose slippers, moose bookends bracketing a shelf of moose books (including "Moose or Mooses?") and even a cactus resembling moose antlers!

When Molly's parents take her to Alaska to see some moose, she can't find anything but....a goose! The goose say the moose are on vacation in the city: "And Mr. Goose was right. My moose were in the city-our city! Hundreds and thousands of moose!" They're walking into the natural history museum, buying postcards, shopping, and eating at fine restaurants! Within just six pages, Fiona Robinson establishes an imaginative, witty, lively story, that is is so appealingly zany that you want to believe it. Molly takes three moose (or is that mooses?) home: Monty...Munroe...Milligan..." They complain a bit and they snore, but they also play a wicked game of broom hockey, are whizzes in the kitchen, and use their antlers in many helpful ways (winding wool and drying clothes among them).. Robinson depicts all this in large, big-hearted, whimsical pictures, and writes a fun, surprise last section in which the moose-who had heard the call of the wild and returned home-- drop by (via parachute) for Molly's birthday party. She LOVES moose, and you and your young audience will love this witty, enchanting moose-capade.

Very warm and funny story with plenty of visual humor and beautiful illustrations which remind me of the best classic 50's children's books - very nicely presented in a top quality printing. Bravo!

Moose are great cooks who do the laundry, the dishes and sweep the floors. They do these chores and much, much more at the invitation of Molly, a young girl who announces, "Some children like cats. Some children like dogs. I like moose." Molly goes out in search of moose only to find they are on holiday in her hometown.

These moose - Monty, Munroe and Milligan - are the two-legged variety, a comedic trio sauntering around on hoofs that look and perform like tap shoes. Their antlers are as large as they are multi-functional (you may never look at spaghetti the same way again). My sons, ages 6 and 4, giggled a lot as we read this bedtime story. The silliness was so addictive that my sons imagined other activities the moose could complete with their antlers during subsequent readings.

This is a fun, imaginative book perfect for bedtime reading; we rate it five stars.

Grandpa loves reading this to the grand babies. He gives each moose a different voice and the little ones laugh. Can't get much better than that.
