I Saw a Moose Today

The grown-ups are cleaning house and young Whims Wiggin is sent out in the yard to play. Imagine how delighted Whims is when animal playmates arrive, one after another. First a moose, then a loon, followed by a woodpecker, lynx, bear, caterpillar, bat, beaver and otters. Whims has an adventurous morning, and the reader just knows more animals will appear after lunch. Everything a child loves in a book is here - spunky animals and a child to identilfy with. An information page on each animal gives facts even adults may not know, and raises questions that will create a "let's find out" attitude in readers of all ages.
