Bookroo's summary

A moose with dreams of becoming an astronaut surprises a film director. With the help of his forest friends, including a lacrosse-playing grandma and a superhero chipmunk, he embarks on a wild quest to reach the moon. Will their outrageous plans, like a gigantic slingshot, succeed? This hilarious adventure reminds us to dream big and aim for the stars.

From the publisher

Lights! Camera! Moose! MOOSE? Yes, Moose! When a movie director tries to capture the life of a moose on film, he’s in for a big surprise. It turns out the moose has a dream bigger then just being a moose–he wants to be an astronaut and go to the moon. His forest friends step in to help him, and action ensues. Lots of action. Like a lacrosse-playing grandma, a gigantic slingshot into space, and a flying, superhero chipmunk. In this hilarious romp, Richard T. Morris and bestselling illustrator Tom Lichtenheld remind us to dream big and, when we do, to aim for the moon.
