Looking for a Moose

Very much like We're Going on a Bear Hunt.

Five young kids go looking for a moose. They look, and they look, but it's just no use. So they keep looking elsewhere. Of course, we can see that they're really in the company of an increasing herd of moose!

Just as they give up, they hear "Oo-roog" (I

guess that's what moose say?) and find that they're totally surrounded.

Very cute, very repetitive in the good way, neither too short nor too long.

Phyllis Root's "Looking for a Moose" is about the best invitation you can get to go on a moose hunt. (And come on, who doesn't?)

Root - whom I've always imagined as this robust, earthy woman oft-found hugging the tree in her back yard - offers up a delightful story telling how a troupe of young kids

go off in search of a moose. Randy Cecil's illustrations are a good match, with his earth-tone, round and playfully exagerated illustrated children just beckoning the reader to join them in their curiosity.

With the chant-like choruses and pleasantly engaging and open text, "Looking for a Moose" does for moose(-es?) what "Going on a Bear Hunt" did for bears... both just beckon to be read aloud and shared with groups of children, acted out and participated in. It's the great moose hunt!

Excellent read-aloud, particularly due to fun, descriptive vocabulary and suggestive illustrations.

Very cute book. I loved the illustrations, especially the little dog. Clever rhyming text.

I liked this book because of the texturized words. It gave me a nice feel for the description.

An entertaining book: has descriptive and creative words, uses onomatopoeia, clever use of repetition of words. You could also sense the excitement the children in the story felt. It's fairly average book, nothing spectacular about it, but not a waste of your time.

“Looking for a Moose” was a cute picture book. What I liked most about this book was that each page would have a moose hidden in the illustrations for the the reader to find. The moose was hidden so well, that it was not until my second reading that I picked up on him being hidden. Also, this

book had a lot of descriptive words written in cool font: tromp, stomp, squeech, squooch. This book did not have a main idea except for finding the moose.

I thought this book was an entertaining read but the illustrations made it even better. There was a hidden moose on every page the children went on their adventure The author keeps a playful voice by talking to the reader some, which I always enjoy. It is definitely a for the younger reader who

does not know where Moose live, however it is a good realoud for the lower grades because of the language makes it entertaining and easy to ask questions throughout.
