Morris the Moose (I Can Read Book Series: Level 1)

by B. Wiseman, B. Wiseman (Illustrator)

Overview

This classic story about a mixed-up moose is perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia, Danny and the Dinosaur, and anyone who loves silly stories and fun word play.

The cow, the deer, and the horse have four legs and a tail, just like Morris. But none of these animals is a moose! These different animals have one thing in common—their friendship.

Morris the Moose is a Level One I Can Read, great for shared reading with a child, and especially wonderful for reluctant readers.

PreS-Gr 2-- Fans of Morris the Moose will love this new addition to the popular books which feature a lovable four-legged creature who acts like a person. In this story Morris encounters what he considers to be a funny-looking moose. Cow insists that she is a cow but since she has ``four legs and a tail and things on her head,'' Morris concludes that she is a moose like him. Both Morris and the cow encounter similar difficulty when they attempt to have a deer arbitrate their dispute. Finally when the three of them chance to take a drink of water from a stream, Morris and the deer realize that they have been mistaken. Wanting the last word, Morris brings a concluding bit of humor to the tale when he declares that he did not make a mistake, ``I made a MOOSEtake!'' Wiseman's illustrations are in a style similar to those in the other ``Morris'' titles. The images are straightforward and simple with few details. Browns and yellows dominate the pictures. Based on a 1959 book, this edition has been re-illustrated and adapted to the series format. Those wishing for quality titles for very young readers will want it. --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, Iowa
