It's a Moose!

When he first arrives, everyone is expecting the usual kind of baby. But right away, his family notices there's something different about this one. Instead of two feet, he has four hooves. Instead of drinking milk, he eats twigs and weeds. Instead of a tiny human, they bring home a moose baby! With his long legs, silky ears, and sturdy antlers, the moose baby is admired everywhere he goes. Everyone wishes they had a moose baby too. But what will happen when he starts to outgrow their little home?

Here's a delightfully quirky and completely irresistible new sibling picture book about the true meaning of family and the power of love to transcend any difference.

“"Rosoff's little tale of interspecies family love should bring a laugh or two to young readers, juxtaposing as it does the absurdity of a very large member of the deer family residing in a human abode . . . A lesson in animal care told with love and humor." -- Kirkus Reviews”

"Rosoff's little tale of interspecies family love should bring a laugh or two to young readers, juxtaposing as it does the absurdity of a very large member of the deer family residing in a human abode . . . A lesson in animal care told with love and humor." --Kirkus Reviews "Rosoff (the McTavish series) and Ercolini (Not Inside This House!) start with a goofy what-if . . . but deepen their story into something much more: one about how loving families stick together, embrace radical acceptance, and know when to let go." --Publishers Weekly

"Unconditional acceptance forms the central theme in this droll tale." --Booklist
