 It isn't easy being a moose....

 You're a full-grown adult at the age of one, and it itches like crazy when your antlers come in!  Kids will love Moose and Magpie by Bettina Restrepo and Illustrated by Sherry Rogers. We received this delightful book from our friends at Sylvan Dell Publishing and found it educational, refreshing. and a fun story! In this delightful story,Young Moose is lucky to find a friend and guide in the wisecracking Magpie. Magpie tells Moose jokes that children will find amusing. My son smiled and laughed out loud and the vivid illustrations by Sherry Rogers bring these characters to life. You will laugh along with Moose and Magpie and maybe-just maybe- Moose will make a joke of his own! The "For Creative Minds" educational section includes: Moose life cycles and such things like what do moose eat? There are also "Related Websites" and "Teaching Activities" on Sylvan Dell Publishing's website.
