Review

Wade is worried about his lose antlers as human children worry about their first lose tooth. With the help of his supportive mother this little character learns what is normal and not fearful. Such a teachable moment shared in a cute storyline. This story by a new author, offers some insight into the realities of change.

The fact that both the author and illustrator love the woods comes as no surprise as the text and illustrations reflect that emotion. The illusions are full of background that go way beyond just fill. Children will love the many little critters, the triangle trees, facial expressions, textured wall coverings, and spring flowers.

Add to primary schools and public libraries where moose roam the woods.

Overall Book Score: good
