Moose Tales

Write a Review | Q & A

Moose has good friends in the woodland: Beaver, Squirrel, Rabbit, and Mouse. Together they count snowflakes, help one another out of fixes, and make practically perfect creatures out of snow. Set in the secure world of the woods, these tender, funny stories for beginning readers celebrate the simple joys of having friends both trusty and true. And the delicately silly illustrations capture the foibles and idiosyncrasies of each woodland creature, from Moose’s skinny legs to Rabbit’s long, floppy ears.

Amy Rusch made her childrens book debut with Moose Tales, about which Booklist said, Rusch debuts with disarmingly simple illustrations that match the stories unassuming tone perfectly. With her husband and toddler twins, she lives in Lake Negagamon, Wisconsin, where they often find tracks of forest animals, big and small.
