Media: This book is a good example of pencil media because the pictures are drawn using various color and types of pencils. The pencils allow for wide range of different lines, shading, and colors. The illustrator did a fabulous job complimenting the text.

organizing, decorating, baking, wrapping, etc. He was so busy that he forgot to get a Christmas tree. By the time he realized this, it was too late because all of the farms were out. Instead of a Christmas tree, the moose wrapped himself with his own moustache and decorated himself.

Funny, but nothing great.

I guess, if you do celebrate Christmas with a to-do list, and especially if you have a silly sense of humor, you might love this. But it didn't do anything for me. I bought it at the thrift store to release via bookcrossing, and that's just exactly the fate it deserves.

Mooseltoe is a delightful book that tells of endless Christmas preparation that always falls short at the end. I totally relate to the moose in this story,. No matter how organized I think I am, I always forget something or run out of time! I love the story and the illustrations are wonderful.
