What a fun little book about a moose and a magpie this book is! 

You’ll find a cute little story about a moose getting his antlers and a magpie telling the moose jokes to keep his mind off the itching that the antlers are causing while trying to come in.

Along the way though, your child will learn fun little moose facts as nearly every page has a little fact block with more information.

The back of the book contains  more fun facts, a matching game, and more.

I hope you children will enjoy this book as much as mine have!
