Chocolate Moose
by Maggie Kneen is a charming new book about a Moose who loves chocolate. The first thing that drew me to this book was the sweet face of the Moose on the cover. Secondly it is about chocolate, which is a favorite of mine---especially "chocolate mousse". While I was reading it I found it sweet and funny, in a silly kind of way. While it is a bit predictable, it is still a children's book and kids like predictable. If I was still working in a store I would use it as the center of a themed story time about chocolate....especially with Valentine's Day just around the corner.
