It’s a Moose!

Illustrations by David Ercolini

 
 
 
 

When he first arrives, everyone is expecting the usual kind of baby. But … he has four hooves. He eats twigs and weeds. He's a moose baby! With his long legs, silky ears, and sturdy antlers, the moose baby is admired everywhere he goes. Everyone wishes they had a moose baby too. But what will happen when he starts to outgrow his family?

A delightfully quirky and completely irresistible new picture book about the true meaning of family and the power of love to transcend any difference. (Published only in the US.)

“Rosoff's tale of interspecies family love should bring a laugh to young readers, juxtaposing as it does the absurdity of a very large member of the deer family residing in a human abode . . . A lesson told with love and humor."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Rosoff (the McTavish series) and Ercolini (Not Inside This House!) start with a goofy what-if . . . but deepen their story into something much more: one about how loving families stick together, embrace radical acceptance, and know when to let go."
—Publishers Weekly

"Unconditional acceptance forms the central theme in this droll tale."
— Booklist
