Brief Summary: This story is about a moose who doesn't want to spend the winter time alone while all the other animals are migrating to the south or hibernating so he hesitantly goes on a road trip to florida with two ducks. The author tells us everything they did on their trip including eating pancakes. By the end of the story, the ducks and moose were back home and moose couldn't wait for the next road trip!
Evaluation: This book teaches little kids to always give new things a try because you might end up enjoying yourself like moose did. The illustrations in this book were detailed, bright and fun.The words had lots of space between each sentence. This makes it easier for kids to read. The coolest two page spread was while the ducks and moose were on the road and Dave Horowitz drew all the different signs that they were passing. He put a lot of details on this page including a turtle behind them yelling slow down and graffiti on the billboard that read "no war" which i thought was clever. Read this book for yourself and pick out all the little details and fun things that moose sees while on his road trip to Florida!
Rating: 5 out of 5 moose!
