Looking for a Moose

An ear-tickling, eye-teasing romp for little listeners, led by an award-winning author and illustrator.

Do you really, really want to see a moose — a long-leggy moose — a branchy-antler, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose? Spurred by Phyllis Root's sing-songy text and Randy Cecil's buoyant illustrations, this hunt for an elusive moose through woods, swamps, bushes, and hills is just as fun as the final surprise discovery of moose en masse. Children will laugh at the running visual joke — what is that little dog looking at? — and ask for repeated reads of this satisfying tale.

Phyllis Root is the author of more than thirty books for children, including One Duck Stuck, Oliver Finds His Way, and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning Big Momma Makes the World. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
