Absolutely hilarious. Loved it! ( )

Moose just wants to be an astronaut in this hilarious picture-book adventure from author Richard T. Morris and illustrator Tom Lichtenheld, but the filmmaker who has come to create a documentary about him is having none of it. Moose are not meant to be astronauts! Or lacrosse goalies, in the case of Grandma Moose. Nor are giraffe supposed to be anywhere in the woods. Despite the director's many arguments, Moose proceeds with his plan to reach outer space, aided by his friends and family. Eventually the director himself, revealed as a duck, also gets on board...

An amusing tale of following your dreams, and defying expectations regarding the supposedly proper course of action for people (or moose) of one's sort, This Is a Moose is a book that, with its frequent outraged interruptions by the director, makes for an excellent read-aloud. I have seen it performed at story-time, and it is inevitably a hit with its young audience. I enjoyed both story and artwork here, and think that Lichtenheld's ink, pencil and gouache illustrations perfectly capture the humorous hi-jinks to be found in the text. Recommended to anyone looking for humorous, entertaining picture-books. ( )
