The author, using Native American tales, provides a great story for children ages 9-12. The beautiful watercolor pictures blend well with the story.  This is a story about a young moose that lets his curiosity get the best of him as he wanders away from the safety of his home to the busy streets in the country where he ends up in a town.  Moose is lost and isn’t sure how he will get back home.  He isn’t used to all this noise and activity. Finally he sees some geese flying and he finds his way home.  The use of soft watercolor illustrations really enhances this story.

Zoey: 

“I liked this book, ‘Little Brother Moose.’  The little moose decides he wants to see what is around him and gets lost. He is sad and doesn’t know how to get home.”
