Moose is amazed when he sees a sign by the side of the road that says “Moose Crossing.” He must be very important to have his own sign, although his best friend, Hildy, doesn’t agree. When tourists arrive, hoping to catch sight of him, Moose finds he can’t go anywhere without being recognized. Suddenly his life isn’t as simple as it used to be. Maybe being famous isn’t all that great. Stephanie Green’s witty humor and Joe Mathieu’s lively black-and-white artwork make this a not-to-be-missed transitional reading book.
