Ernest, The Moose Who Doesn't Fit

Ernest, The Moose Who Doesn't Fit

by Catherine Rayner

Summary: A rather large moose who cannot fit on the page teams up with his little chipmunk friend to find a solution. Final pages form a gatefold.

This is an adorable book with little text on each page. This book is excellent for reading to younger children with a short attention span. It is fantastic simply for entertainment. I thought it would have a deep meaning about not "fitting in,” but there is not such a theme.
