Add a CommentVery dry humor and great illustrations are fun ways to explore the themes of friendship and ownership. Oliver Jeffers delivers again!
This is a story of friendship and ownership. The main character has some serious rules if the moose is going to be his pet, but the moose doesn’t seem interested in his rules, so they come to a mutual agreement and learn to compromise. Can you really own something that is wild? His unusual story lines and his compelling illustrations make him so much fun to read! I also love his book The Heart & the Bottle – an endearing & thought-provoking picture book that deals with love, loss, and living. Quite sad but beautiful! Another must-read from this author is The Day the Crayons Quit – I loved all the letters that the different colours of crayons wrote in the book. It is immensely funny and will remind us to be kind to our crayons! (submitted by DS)

A cute story, however liked his other book "Stuck" much better.
Wonderful gentle story that brought up discussions about "owning" animals and the meaning of friendship. Cute and funny too!
Funny and unusual as always! Fans of Oliver Jeffers and his other books will enjoy!
