This book is part of the Moose series and a fun addition it is. Early readers will be able to follow along as Moose journeys through the four seasons with his animal buddies. Moose's personality shines through in both the text and the illustrations. Great as a read aloud and for the budding reader in grades K-2.
CIP Summary:
Moose helps his little friends in may ways during the four seasons.
From School Library Journal:
Warm colors create a cozy setting for these endearing woodland creatures, and reflect the quiet tone and gentle humor of the writing. There is enough phrase repetition to suit newly independent readers, and these delightful stories could also be shared aloud. An appealing addition to easy-reader shelves.
From Booklist:
Gr. 1-2. A sequel to Moose Tales (2001), this volume follows gentle Moose and his friends around one cycle of the seasons. The spare ink drawings, generous use of white space, and limited palette of mainly greens, blues, and browns enhance the appeal of these short, woodland tales for beginning readers.

A nice and clever story with a beginning introduction to animal habits. Really good for younger readers.
