Customer Reviews

A welcome assistant

I just love this book. I read this book when I was a child. It had so many comical parts that even now as an adult it will be one that I read to my children and include in our home library. This story is about a blue moose that starts out being a nuisance to a restaurant/inn keeper and ends up a welcome assistant. Children will delight in this book.

great book

It is a very good and beautiful book

A must read book!

THIS BOOK MUST BE REPRITED! I remember having a teacher read this book to my class and it was really funny. Who would ever dream up about a blue moose who does the things that he does except Pinkwater. We need more books like this one! I would love to have a copy of this book and of THE BLUE MOOSE RETURNS. Everyone should read this book.

I am not a tame moose!!!

This book is beneficial to having a stable Canadian child. Even if you are an American you and your child will enjoy this book. The Blue Moose is a character that still to this day makes me comment"Iam not a tame moose". Pinkwater shows a wonderful sense of humor and immagination that you don't see too often any more.

Captivating story with wonderful humor.

This book must be re-printed! The story is so captivating that adults and children alike love it. The moose is so delightfully superior and the people appropriately respectful. My current library has only the sequel and I must have the original title.
