Synopsis
If a big hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. When he's eaten all your muffins, he'll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix.
In this hilarious sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young readers will delight in the comic complications that follow when a little boy entertains a gregarious moose.
Annotation
Chaos can ensue if you give a moose a muffin and start him on a cycle of urgent requests.
Children's Literature
This tale is a rib-tickling circular story like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie but with an ungainly moose who sits crosslegged at a cardtable devouring muffins with blackberry jam. He looks divine in a red sweater and is so talented that he puts on a sock-puppet play complete with scenery. The house is a shambles but anything can happen when a moose is on the loose. 1994 (orig.

Delightful children's bookby Joodly

April 20, 2009: This is one you won't mind being asked to read over and over. The story line is simple and imaginative and the illustrations are incredibly charming. It's an easy read and the silly things that happen as each page becomes more elaborate will tickle the youngest child and the most sophisticated reader. No heavy messages, just a fun story so perfect for bedtime or to ease a sad day.

May 27, 2008: My brother sent us this book and at the age of 35yrs old it is one of my favourites. I am training to be a teacher and everytime I am in a different class I read the book. My children have had me come in and read it to their class and at kindy. The kids all really enjoy it. I plan on having it as part of my class and make sock puppets. It is lots of fun. Every child should have it
