From School Library Journal
In a cumulative text reminiscent of "This is the house that Jack built," a moose invades a family's vegetable garden. While the parents intone, " 'How sad!' " and " 'Too bad!,' " their child is delighted and composes a glad "Garden Song," inviting the moose to visit again to take the cauliflower, zucchini, and broccoli--foods the child dislikes. Judicious repetition of the story's short simple words make this a first-rate choice for toddlers as well as for beginning readers, who may stumble only on the names of some vegetables. The paintings feature sophisticated perspectives in highly saturated, deep colors that are almost surrealistic because of their lack of backgrounds, unusual angles, and extraneous details. A refreshing and unusual look at the common conflict between people and wildlife, be it deer, woodchuck, or moose. --Ellen Fader, Westport Public Library, CT
