PreS-Gr 2-- Fans of Morris the Moose will love this new addition to the popular books which feature a lovable four-legged creature who acts like a person. In this story Morris encounters what he considers to be a funny-looking moose. Cow insists that she is a cow but since she has ``four legs and a tail and things on her head,'' Morris concludes that she is a moose like him. Both Morris and the cow encounter similar difficulty when they attempt to have a deer arbitrate their dispute. Finally when the three of them chance to take a drink of water from a stream, Morris and the deer realize that they have been mistaken. Wanting the last word, Morris brings a concluding bit of humor to the tale when he declares that he did not make a mistake, ``I made a MOOSEtake!'' Wiseman's illustrations are in a style similar to those in the other ``Morris'' titles. The images are straightforward and simple with few details. Browns and yellows dominate the pictures. Based on a 1959 book, this edition has been re-illustrated and adapted to the series format. Those wishing for quality titles for very young readers will want it. --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, Iowa
