It’s no secret…Moose are my absolute favorite animals. There is just something about their big bodies and heads balancing on those long skinny legs. How can you not just love them!
Needless to say, I was very happy when given the chance to review Shankman and O’Neill’s I Met a Moose in Maine One Day!!!
I Met a Moose in Maine One Day tells the tale of a boy as he travels through Maine with his newly acquired house guest, a Moose! From shopping and dancing to planes and log-rolling, they take in all the sites of Maine. Of course having fun at every stop!
My daughter loves the artwork and how the moose tries to hide behind a lamp while playing hide-and-seek. She cracks up at that part every time! I love the story itself and how fun it is to read, a lot like Dr. Seuss. We’ve actually read the story so many times now that my daughter knows what is coming up before I even turn the page!!!
All of Shankman and O’Neill’s books are amazing. Clever stories that my girls want to hear over and over again and illustrations that draw you in to each page of the book. You can read our reviews of Boston Balloonies and The Cods of Cape Cod here and here.
All of these books would make great gifts this holiday season. You can purchase any of these books online. And, once your child has fallen in love with these books (which won’t take long), have them get creative and submit their book fan art to Shankman and O’Neill (details on their website)!!!

That book looks so funny. My girls would love it, I’m sure… (but don’t enter me in the contest, since this is Susan talking.)
Moose are funny looking animals that is for sure.

I love the illustration of the moose attempting to hide behind the light! I had never heard of the books or the author before so I will definitely have to add that to our library list for the coming week! Looks like a really fun read!

Cool! I like moose(s).
My twin boys love visiting their grandparents during the summer at the appropriately named Moosehead Lake in Maine. This would be the perfect book for them to cherish along with their annual summer memories!

I love moose too. Ever seen the video of the moose in Alaska that got drunk off of fermented apples from some guy’s orchard? It’s downright hilarious. They have such long legs that anything they do is funny, especially drunk
The book looks great! you’re right that the artwork would be a selling point for the kids. My boys might be slightly too old for it. But, It’s a great suggestion for my sisters kids who are 2,3, and 4. thanks!

Our family went on a vacation to New Hampshire during first week of September and had a pleasure of spotting a moose. Kids just loved seeing the MOOSE. Reading this book will surely sparkle their own imagination and creativity….
My daughter loves books, and moose too. She actually calls horses, cows, and everything in between “Moose”. She would love this book, for sure!!
I am always looking for great books for my kids, this one looks really cute! I’d love to win.
