Moose never wants to do anything exciting with his friends. One day, he gets inspired (or maybe just hit in the head with a golf ball) and jumps aboard a sailboat and sets sail. He is stranded on a desert island where he makes the most of island life with his new sidekick, Tuesday the tortoise. Moose is eventually rescued, returns to his friends and suggests they go cliff jumping. The book ends with Moose and Tuesday making plans to meet for a holiday in Africa. Moral of the story? Make the moose out of life so it doesn't pass you by while you sit under an umbrella wearing 100 SPF sunblock.

The trio that taught us to appreciate our friends instead of always trying to be the best in The Legend of Ninja Cowboy Bear are back with a new story about friendship. Ninja loves to play with his friends Cowboy and Bear, but Ninja always wants to play his games, and his games are always rough and rowdy and end badly for Cowboy and Bear. Moral of the story? To be a good friend, sometimes you have to compromise about what to play.
Since I love a good moose book and have a friend who's a ninja, these look just right! Thanks for the reviews.

ReplyDeleteThis also looks interesting. Unfortunately, it is not at a library near me yet :( I just read a good ninja one call Wink The Ninja Who Wanted to be Notice. If you like ninja storis, check it out. I really enjoyed it.
