Moose! [abridged]

by Robert Munsch (author) and Michael Martchenko (illustrator)

Luke gets up early one Saturday morning and finds a moose in the backyard. He wakes up his dad, and then his mom, and tells them what he's seen.

"'That is crazy,' said the father. 'Moose do not come anywhere near the farm.'"

So Luke feeds the moose carrots and decides to keep it as a pet. When his parents finally see the moose for themselves, mom tries to shoo it away with a broom ― but the moose eats it. Dad tries to scare it away with a hose ― but the moose just takes a nice bath. Finally, his three sisters comes up with a surprising solution to this unusual problem.

This story was adapted for the very young.
