A methed up moose finds a fiddle and becomes an auditory terrorist, but ultimately learns the lesson that guys in a band get girls.

I really want to tell this story at my story time. But I need to find a violin to do so properly.

This is a cute story about mooses! (spoiler)

There's not really much to the story. A moose plays the violin... badly... and everyone he comes across hates the sound and chases him away, until he meets a lady moose, who LOVES the sound and says it inspires her to sing (...badly...), which is when they fall in love.

The art is nice, and it's a fun story to share with younger readers!

Inspiring! It tells one, if you enjoy your “Moose music”, one day you’ll find your Lady (or partner) Moose. To hell with what Pierre says!

Used this in Movement and Music today and the kids weren't wildly entertained by it.

Sweet moose love story. Sometimes there is only one who can appreciate our "music."
