From the illustrator of the #1 smash hit The Day the Crayons Quit comes the age-old tale of a boy and his moose . . .Wilfred is a boy with rules. He lives a very orderly life. It's fortunate, then, that he has a pet who abides by rules, such as not making noise while Wilfred educates him on his record collection. There is, however, one rule that Wilfred's pet has difficulty following: Going whichever way Wilfred wants to go. Perhaps this is because Wilfred's pet doesn't quite realize that he belongs to anyone.A moose can be obstinate in such ways.Fortunately, the two manage to work out a compromise. Let's just say it involves apples.Oliver Jeffers, the bestselling creator of Stuck and The Incredible Book Eating Boy, delivers another deceptively simple book sure to make kids giggle.

I have lived many places in my life, at one time very near to Canada. But, I have never seen a moose. I think it would be nice to meet one as long as it wasn't in too foul a mood. In the meantime, I've fallen in love with them through books. Just saying the word "moose" makes me laugh. What a great name! Even funnier are the over-sized antlers and the spindly awkward legs. Make a moose the main character in a children's book, and the humor is automatically implied. Jeffers, the author and illustrator of This Moose Belongs to Me, perfectly captures the joy, the humor, and even a life lesson about nature and wild animals. I won a signed print and a copy of this book in a contest. I cannot thank the publisher and author enough for their generosity.The watercolor illustrations in This Moose... are strikingly beautiful in their simplicity. Jeffers even manages to capture the "mood" of the moose. The boy in the story, Wilfred, is charming, endearing, and absolutely loveable. The text is brief which is how I prefer the text in picture books to be. If the pictures in a PICTURE book aren't telling the story, then to my mind it's not a true picture book. Also, and this is no small thing to a former Children's librarian, This Moose Belongs to Me has a certain rhythm and careful word choice that make it an ideal read-aloud.Wilfred believes this moose is his. To his dismay, he finds that it is not. It is wild creature that "belongs" to many and follows its own rules. Once he accepts this truth, his friendship with the moose becomes a mutually satisfying one. The best part of the story is the laugh-out loud humor that comes as Wilfred attempts to get the moose to obey his rules. Moose are not particularly cooperative creatures.
