The Useful Moose

Moose-obsessed little Molly persuades her parents to take her to Alaska so that she can see the beasts up close, but when they arrive, they can't find a single one. An obliging goose tips them off that all the moose have taken a vacation in Molly's own city. The family returns home fast and are amazed to see moose strolling around all over the place. They invite three of the moose to their house, where the animals eagerly pitch in with the chores until they get homesick and return to Alaska, but they plan to keep in touch with their new friend. The author's imaginatively humorous full-color oil paintings accompany her text. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
