What animal has skinny legs like a horse, big ears like a burro, a beard like a turkey, and shoulder humps like a bear? It's a moose, of course Fredericks discusses the physical characteristics, habitat, behavior, and life cycle of the comical-looking creature, whose appearance hides strength, speed, and agility. 22 photos. 5
Who knew I would be looking for information about moose? Then I was traveling to Maine and wanted to know all about them. Adult or child, this is the book to start with. Simple, basic chapters explain the strange appearance of the moose, their habits, their habitat, and their social customs. Grand, solitary creatures, members of the deer family, they are actually making a comeback now, particularly in the northern tier of states. The pictures accompanying each little chapter are breathtaking, magnificent and appealing. The text is completely lucid, easy enough for a child to read, but packed with enough interesting information to satisfy an adult's curiosity. (Well, mine, anyway). If you are headed for moose country (or just interested in animals) I recommend this one highly!
The perfect little moose book.
