Moosekitos: A Moose Family Reunion

40 pp. | Hyperion | June, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7868-1955-3 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. In his third book, the marvelously mustachioed Moose organizes a reunion of moose kin from Moosachusetts to Moosissippi. Bad puns, silly wordplay, and a truly ridiculous climax full of unwelcome moosekitos may make some kids giggle, but the slapstick is too overwrought to be truly funny. Nevertheless, the illustrations of cavorting moose relatives in swimsuits and PJs are quite a hoot.
