If You Give A Moose A Snowball

Yes, the blizzards just keep on coming here in New England, and if you live in the south, you see the shots of our snow dappled branches on TV and think "Snow, how pretty."  But if you live here and have shoveled your driveway out for the umpteenth time and have to navigate your car around streets with 15-foot high snow drifts left by the plows, I believe you probably replaced the adjective "pretty" with a a few other choice words. ;-)

In fact, we're even tired of snow in the story corner!  We've done snowmen and snowflakes and blizzards and winter so many times this season... I knew that despite yesterday's story hour coming on the heels of yet another big snowfall, I just HAD to change it up.  So, we read MOOSE books.  (I know, we should have done beach books, or sunshine, or coral reefs but given we likely have at least two more solid months of winter conditions ahead of us here in the north, that REALLY would have been depressing, don't you think?)

And besides, who doesn't love a great big goofy Moose?

Here are some of our spectacular Moose reading selections/suggestions.  They are all good, but I listed them in order of my favorites:

1. “Ernest the Moose Who Doesn’t Fit” by Catherine Rayner
2. “If You Give A Moose a Muffin” by Laura Numeroff
3. “Chocolate Mousse” by Maggie Kneen
4. “Moose on the Loose” by Kathi-Jo Wargin
5. “Thidwick The Big-Hearted Moose” by Dr. Seuss
