In a tall tale/song, Arnosky tells of the large white-legged moose he encountered one day--without his sketchbook. While the overlong text struggles to come up with rhymes, the watercolors are masterful. Bold dark outlines and fall colors show the illustrator as a confident Daniel Boone type who becomes timid in the presence of the moose. Easy piano arrangement and guitar chords are included.
