Insane illustrations！

Oh my delightfulness！ A subtle way to show we are so silly as people when it comes to thinking what we can take possession of。 Captivating illustrations and sheer enjoyment！ Highly recommended for 3 and up。

Genre: Contemporary RealisticGrade: K-3Wilfred shows great imagination and problem-solving in this story。 I think many kids can relate to finding animals and pretending they are pets。 It would also be a great book to have kids predict what they think will happen next。 Overall， this is a humorous story that had a good problem and solution plotline。

What are the chances that so many people could own one moose？ Or not。

The illustrations in this book are sweet as is the story。 I especially loved the backgrounds it seemed that some of the illustrations had been layered on top of。 It was refreshing to me and my son who is studying animation。

The story of a nomadic moose， doing its own thing。 The moose both belongs to everyone and no one。 Like nature as a whole， it is there for everyone to appreciate， love， and take care of， but not for people to take advantage of and claim as their own。

What can I say？ I am forever a sucker for Oliver Jeffers。 This is a story about a boy who learns that no one owns nature and encourages an attitude of abundance and sharing。

I watched the read aloud video of this book on YouTube by Little Cub Literacy。My 6 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this book。 The illustrations were beautiful and it's actually a good book to teach children about ownership。 They cannot just claim any animal and assume it's their pet。 Recommend to everyone。。。5 stars I watched the read aloud video of this book on YouTube by Little Cub Literacy。My 6 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this book。 The illustrations were beautiful and it's actually a good book to teach children about ownership。 They cannot just claim any animal and assume it's their pet。 Recommend to everyone。。。5 stars 。。。more

Wilfred thinks he owns a moose so he names it Marcel and makes up lots of rules that he says it must follow。 They go on adventures but Marcel doesn't always follow the rules。 One day the moose goes to another human who also thinks she owns him， Wilfred runs away and the moose comes to help him。 Wilfred realises that he doesn't own the moose， they are just friends and he can't always make the moose do whatever he wants。 This is a good book about friendship and what makes a good friend。 The story Wilfred thinks he owns a moose so he names it Marcel and makes up lots of rules that he says it must follow。 They go on adventures but Marcel doesn't always follow the rules。 One day the moose goes to another human who also thinks she owns him， Wilfred runs away and the moose comes to help him。 Wilfred realises that he doesn't own the moose， they are just friends and he can't always make the moose do whatever he wants。 This is a good book about friendship and what makes a good friend。 The story might be nice to read and discuss if there are friendship problems in the class or with individual children to see if they can identify what Wilfred is doing wrong and how he could be a better friend。 I would use the book in KS1 and year 3。 I could also be used to support PSHE sessions on what makes a good friend。 Children could role-play or discuss how Wilfred and Marcel are and compare this to how they could be if they were both being good friends。 。。。more

This was fine！ The mixed illustration style wasn't my favorite， although I did LOVE the records - we happened to recognize a Jackie Wilson cover， which was fun。 This was fine！ The mixed illustration style wasn't my favorite， although I did LOVE the records - we happened to recognize a Jackie Wilson cover， which was fun。 。。。more

We really enjoyed this story about a young boy who comes upon a moose and names it Marcel。 He declares that the moose is his as they go through various days of fun。 One day， another person sees the moose and calls it as her own。 The moose chooses her。 Ultimately， the young boy learns that the moose belongs to no one， but that they can be friends still and enjoy one another's company。 We really enjoyed this story about a young boy who comes upon a moose and names it Marcel。 He declares that the moose is his as they go through various days of fun。 One day， another person sees the moose and calls it as her own。 The moose chooses her。 Ultimately， the young boy learns that the moose belongs to no one， but that they can be friends still and enjoy one another's company。 。。。more

In “This Moose Belongs to Me，”Jeffers presents Wilfred， a young boy who owns a moose。 The moose， whom he names Marcel， has a role that lies somewhere between imaginary friend and deliberate pet。 Wilfred attempts to control Marcel by imposing a set of rules。 Then， while on a long walk， Wilfred discovers his moose is actually named Rodrigo and belongs to an elderly blue-haired woman。 The moose rejects the boy for the old woman， and Wilfred rushes home， “embarrassed and enraged。"En route， he become In “This Moose Belongs to Me，”Jeffers presents Wilfred， a young boy who owns a moose。 The moose， whom he names Marcel， has a role that lies somewhere between imaginary friend and deliberate pet。 Wilfred attempts to control Marcel by imposing a set of rules。 Then， while on a long walk， Wilfred discovers his moose is actually named Rodrigo and belongs to an elderly blue-haired woman。 The moose rejects the boy for the old woman， and Wilfred rushes home， “embarrassed and enraged。"En route， he becomes tangled up and trapped in the woods， and after a cold and lonely night， Marcel rescues him。 This precipitates a renewal of the boy/moose relationship， one in which following Wilfred’s rules will be strictly optional for Marcel。 The book ends with a cautionary note for Wilfred， when yet another possible owner hails the moose as Dominic。 The illustrations in this book are perfectly suited to the stories they tell。 Pet lovers and nature lovers alike will enjoy this offbeat and entertaining tale 。。。more

A lovely story about ownership and compromise which is a very important topic for children to understand and discuss。 I also enjoyed the different types of art styles in the illustrations which were very effective。

A lovely story about an adventurous boy who finds a moose and decides to keep it for himself。 The pair have a wonderful friendship， helping each other out of difficult situations。 I would look at the absence of the boys' parents with children， exploring how he lives and how it may have felt when he was all alone and the world suddenly became scarier。 I would get the children to create their ideal pet and then write a story about their adventure with it。 A lovely story about an adventurous boy who finds a moose and decides to keep it for himself。 The pair have a wonderful friendship， helping each other out of difficult situations。 I would look at the absence of the boys' parents with children， exploring how he lives and how it may have felt when he was all alone and the world suddenly became scarier。 I would get the children to create their ideal pet and then write a story about their adventure with it。 。。。more

A sweet book that encourages sharing and compromise， two important skills for young children。 With beautiful illustrations， this book makes a great read-aloud。

"Brilliantly silly" is how the Telegraph described this book， which I completely agree with。 I'm sure a lot of children would enjoy this story， although not my favourite picture book - just one I didn't find myself engaging with as much as others， I would still want to share this book with children。 "Brilliantly silly" is how the Telegraph described this book， which I completely agree with。 I'm sure a lot of children would enjoy this story， although not my favourite picture book - just one I didn't find myself engaging with as much as others， I would still want to share this book with children。 。。。more
