A Moose Called Mouse

“Mouse is a moose. He’s not a mouse or a louse or anything else. He’s a moose I call Mouse.”

So begins the unique story about a young girl and her secret rendezvous with a charming moose named Mouse, who has “big, funny horns that look like cauliflower, or coral, or bare winter branches or Uncle Clive’s cactus.” Minimal words and fanciful illustrations impart a sense of the personalities of this unlikely pair as they meet in the night to celebrate the next day’s sunrise. Children will delight in this warm, playful story about friendship and wonder and also will learn how to make their own cauliflower moose-horns.
