Moose and Magpie — Bettina Restrepo

It isn't easy being a moose. You're a full-grown adult at the age of one, and it itches like crazy when your antlers come in! In Bettina Restrepo's Moose and Magpie, young Moose is lucky to find a friend and guide in the wisecracking Magpie. "What do the liberty bell and moose have in common?" the Magpie asks as the seasons begin to change. Then, when fall comes: "Why did the moose cross the road?" Vivid illustrations by Sherry Rogers bring these characters to life. Laugh along with Moose and Magpie, and maybe-just maybe-Moose will make a joke of his own! <br>
