Looking for a Moose by Phyllis Root

Looking for a Moose by Phyllis Root

An ear-tickling, eye-teasing romp for little listeners, led by an award-winning author and illustrator.

Do you really, really want to see a moose -- a long-leggy moose -- a branchy-antler, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose? Spurred by Phyllis Root's sing-songy text and Randy Cecil's buoyant illustrations, this hunt for an elusive moose through woods, swamps, bushes, and hills is just as fun as the final surprise discovery of moose en masse. Children will laugh at the running visual joke -- what is that little dog looking at? -- and ask for repeated reads of this satisfying tale.

Phyllis Root has written many books for children, including Oliver Finds His Way, What Baby Wants, Rattletrap Car, and Kiss the Cow! She says that the idea for Big Momma Makes the World came from a long-ago family car trip through the West. My children were restless, yet fascinated by the unfamiliar scenery. They made up stories about why the landscape looked the way it did, and God and a baby were in lots of the stories. Phyllis Root lives in Minnesota with her two daughters.
Helen Oxenbury is one of today's most acclaimed illustrators. Among her books are Lewis Carroll's ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, which won a Kate Greenaway Medal; Trish Cooke's SO MUCH; Martin Waddell's FARMER DUCK; and Michael Rosen's WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT. She says of working on BIG MOMMA MAKES THE WORLD, As I read Phyllis's text, I imagined Big Momma as part Buddha, part housewife. . . . It was intimidating to create a whole world, but very enjoyable.
