Looking for a Moose
What's This Book About
An ear-tickling, eye-teasing romp for little listeners, led by an award-winning author and illustrator Do you really, really want to see a moose – a long-leggy moose – a branchy-antler, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose? Spurred by Phyllis Root’s sing-songy text and Randy Cecil’s buoyant illustrations, this hunt for an elusive moose through woods, swamps, bushes, and hills is just as fun as the final surprise discovery of moose en masse. Children will laugh at the running visual joke – what is that little dog looking at? – and ask for repeated reads of this satisfying tale.

The Creatives Behind the Book
I have published fifty books for children, including Lucia and the Light, Aunt Nancy and Old Man Trouble, and Big Momma Makes the World, which won a Horn Book Award for picture books. A recent picture book One North Star won a John Burroughs Riverby award for Nature Writing, a Northeastern Minnesota Book Award, and a Midwest Booksellers Choice Award. I teach in the low-residency Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Young Adults Program at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Randy Cecil has illustrated more than half a dozen books for children, including AND HERE’S TO YOU!, MY FATHER THE DOG, and WE’VE ALL GOT BELLYBUTTONS! He lives in Houston, Texas, where he also grew up.
