A cute combination of books for young children!

The illustrations are good & this would be a wonderful way to introduce children to circular stories!

A great read!

I loved these books as a kid and still love them now! The illustrations make the book even funnier and I can’t help but smile as I read it!

This is a very interesting book with really nice illustrations. It made me laugh will using it. It is this cycle of what would happen if you give a moose a muffin, then he will want jam, and giving him jam will remind him of something else that he wants, which will remind him of something else and on and on. It is clever because the author always ends the story where it started, saying that something will remind him of the muffin again and he will want it and then the cycle will start over again. I think that this book is simply just for entertainment and should not be introduced in the classroom. That is unless it so they can just enjoy it. I do not see it being possible for a teacher to come up with a lesson plan based on this book. However I did still enjoy it and think that children will too.
