This Moose Belongs To Me
This Moose Belongs to Me is a gorgeous
new picture book from the superbly talented, internationally bestselling, multiple prize-winning Oliver Jeffers. The story of Wilfred, a boy who owns a moose called Marcel (or at least he thinks he owns a moose called Marcel) is as warm and witty and thought provoking a book as we could wish for. It explores friendship and ownership with that particular Jeffers way of looking at things that connects so immediately and deeply with the feelings of children of all ages.
