Jake's excited about going on a trip to an island, and he really,
really, really wants to see a moose. But his dad insists that there are
no moose on this island. But both Jake and a friendly moose would like
to disagree! In playful rhymes, author Stephanie Calmenson brings the
reader along with Jake and his dad, as they explore the mammals, birds,
insects, and sea life on and around the island. With graceful
illustrations by Jennifer Thermes, Jake"and the reader"start to see the
moose, a little bit at a time, but Dad's either got his nose in a book
or binoculars glued to his eyes. In the end, it's Jake who shows his dad
the value of putting aside the guidebook and ferry schedule to truly
experience the beauty and magic of the outdoors.
