Customer Reviews

Charming and extremely entertaining

The first time I read this book I laughed out loud in a few places, and had to get a copy for my own child (who has a favourite stuffed animal which is a moose). The book is in easy to read rhyme, it's amusing, has charming illustrations, and is just plain fun. What's not to like? It's certainly a favourite in our household.

Hilarious and fun

The first time I read this book I burst out laughing. It's wonderfully silly and entertaining. The references to moose peeking in windows until the child "plays dead" (mentioned by another reviewer) are harmless, so long as you're not offended or worried by the old game of "playing dead". I thought the book was charming and playful. Great fun.

When Arlo Comes Talking It's Always A Thrill

...Mooses Come Walking by Arlo Guthrie and illustrated by Alice M. Brock is one of those cool children's poems that sticks in your mind and can be recited over and over again without losing the good feeling it gives your head and your mouth. It is less forced than most of the Dr.Seuss poetry. And besides being a silly piece of Arlo poetry, the short, simple story has a message: be honored if wild animals come to see you and you get to see them. When you need a short, fun, bedtime or anytime book, read this one to your kids.

mooses!

This book is an amusing little look into the night life of the wild animals in Massachusetts as seen through the eyes of folk singer, Arlo Guthrie. I've heard him tell the story live at some of his concerts and was pleasantly surprised when I found the story in print, especially when I discovered that the illustrations for the book were done by alice of the famous song "alice's resturant". The book is great for a bedtime story for little kids, but also serves as amusment for adults.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Ok, so I was already an Arlo fan before reading this book, but even if you are not, you'll LOVE this book! This is my standard "new baby" gift to everyone...It is just a really cute story and great simple and colorful illustrations. Kids love it and it is actually a very short story that parents can enjoy reading over and over and over.
