#blogbookaday: If the S in Moose Comes Loose

Summary:  “Rollicking, clever, and a great way to have fun with letters, If the S in Moose Comes Loose is a seriously wild ride from start to finish.
When two of Moose’s letters come loose, he vanishes. Poof! But his best friend, Cow, has an idea: she’ll find a G, an L, a U, and an E and glue M-O-O-S-E back together, better than ever! But it’s not as easy as it sounds….
Author Peter Hermann is not only a debut picture book author, he also plays publisher Charles Brooks on TV Land’s hit show Younger. Matthew Cordell is the acclaimed author and illustrator of the 2018 Caldecott winner Wolf in the Snow and has written and/or illustrated dozens of other books for children.

Review: When the S and E in the word moose come loose, cow will do anything to get her moose back… including steal some letters from some other words to help her out. This is a fun spelling adventure that is sure to make kids giggle with delight as they try and figure out what a Bear Chair will become when you start swapping letters!
Personal Reaction: This would be a perfect read aloud for an older elementary or even middle school classroom. Little ones will get the humor too, but I think older kids will appreciate it more! This story would be a perfect story about spelling and would make a fun project to work on… try to create a word but swap letters to make it work!

This is a new idea I’m trying on my blog this year that was inspired by @donalynbooks and @heisereads – to provide a brief review of a picture book every day of 2018. You’ll get a brief summary of the story, a review of the content, illustrations and theme, my personal reaction to the book and all the pertinent publication information! Enjoy!
