MY REVIEW
Miranda Moose knows what she likes. Cherry soda, fresh-squeezed berry juices, even coffee and tea are okay, but she cannot make it through the day without orange juice. What is a moose to do when there is no OJ in the fridge and the store is out as well? She must visit her neighbors and see if anyone has some juice to share. Told in a rhyming text and accompanied by brightly colored illustrations, the story follows Miranda from her bedroom, to the kitchen, the grocery store, and then to each neighbor in her quest for juice. Young readers who are familiar with farm animals will easily guess that Hallie Hen will have eggs and Cassie Cow will offer milk and butter. Those who are not as knowledgeable about such matters may be surprised that Shelly Sheep is willing to give the wool off her “baa-baa-baa-baack.” Just when it seems all hope is lost, Miranda visits Mrs. O’Tree. Guess what grows on trees? For a story sure to resonate with kiddos who just have to find their favorite food or beverage before they can be satisfied, try out the tale of Miranda Moose and see if there is some kindred feeling. After all the laughter is done (a moose in high heels and a polka dot dress is a funny sight), it could be fun to have a discussion about the sources for favorite foods and other necessities.
