My Review:
My Friend Moose’r McDan is a simple yet heart-warming story about a giant, blue moose named McDan, who is always wearing a big smile and ready to make new friends. His friendliness has the power to stop violence and transform his worst predator into a loving playmate!
The book features short, easy-to-understand sentences prefect for young readers, along with neat, colorful illustrations that enrich the story with interesting details. My favorite picture in the book is the one with the bear's gun down on the ground surrounded by beautiful wild flowers.
The story delivers a compelling and thought-provoking message against gun violence, while it promotes friendship, conservation and harmony with nature. I love that the book ends with a question, or rather, an invitation for the reader to extend the story by becoming McDan's next friend. Grab your child a copy of this lovely book and it'll likely become a new favorite for the holiday season and beyond!
My Friend Moose’r McDan
Written by Sky Danley
Illustrated by Alli Coate
An aggressive hunter bear meets a gentle moose who is looking for a new friend. The moose is so friendly that the bear decides to drop his gun and stop hunting altogether. Instead, the bear learns that it’s more fun to just hang out with a new friend, playing games and enjoying nature. However, after the fall colors change, it’s time for the bear to go back home. The gentle moose is sad because he lost his play friend, so he is again looking for a new one. He invites whoever is reading the book to become his new friend.
