Moose Tales

48 pp. | Houghton | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-395-90863-9 $$15.00
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Amy Rusch. In three episodic stories, Moose invites pals Beaver, Squirrel, Rabbit, and Mouse to join him for a walk but gets tired out in the process; accidentally knocks a wobbly tree onto Beaver's tail, then comes up with a way to unstick him; and builds a snow creature with his friends. Van Laan's sweet tales are easygoing and repetitive--helpful for not-yet-confident readers--and Rusch's illustrations are a bit clunky with naïve charm.
