Raves and Reviews
Children will laugh their way through Moose’s antics, his silly dance shoes, and his enthusiastic attempts at twirling and spinning. Readers may recognize themselves in Moose, full of enthusiasm that outstrips his skills, and sympathize when Moose falls in a tangled heap . . . Smiles will break out when Moose lets loose and dances the night away. Illustrations are vivid and bold with clear expressions, and will likely inspire readers to break out their own moves. VERDICT Another totally relatable winner from Preller for the early reader shelves.
