Customer Reviews

Moosey Moose is brilliant

I saw this book while browsing in my favorite bookstore and immediately loved it, even though I was at least 12 years older than the readers it is written for. The drawings and story are perfect for children, but older readers will get a kick out of Moosey Moose too. I love the page wherein "Moosey Moose is mad" and also the illustration of him snubbing his short pants in favor of the longer ones. This is the best of the four Thingy Things books I've seen. It is so delightful that Moosey Moose has been a topic of conversation at my high school for a year so far.

Mad About Moosey Moose

Chris Raschka's Moosey Moose, from the Thingy Things series, is a terrific children's book. It uses very simple sounds and words in repetition to teach kids to read. In this story Moosey Moose is mad because he wants his long pants -- not his short pants! (Our nephew who wears shorts in winter and long pants in summer loves Moosey Moose!) The illustrations are wonderful. It is the first of our son's books that both mommy & daddy can recite by heart!
