Follow Your Bliss
By Bill B
Tom Lichtenheld has done it again! This is more high energy than Good Night, Construction Site, but I've never seen my daughter laugh so hard reading a book before. I got hooked on Lichtenheld after reading Shark vs. Train.Here's the set up--a documentary about a moose is being made, but the moose isn't playing his role as a proper moose. Morris plays the gag up as every page just gets crazier, which causes the director to really lose his cool. I won't give away the ending, but it's brilliant. There's a reveal that you realize was there in places throughout the book and it puts everything into perspective in a big but subtle way. Don't be fooled but the craziness! This is as sophisticated as any illustrated book I've read in terms of delivering a message for kids about following your bliss.

Hands down winner in our house! Hilarious and completely original. My kids poured over every page and then started again from the beginning. My son couldn't get enough of Moose -- doing Moosey and especially not-so-Moosey things. He also kept an eye on Moose's sidekicks: bunny and squirrel. Giggles from my daughter throughout, especially when the giraffe enters the mayhem. Plus, I loved the book just as much...rare change! The last pages are pure magic!! Thank you Morris & Lichtenheld!! Message loud and clear: Dream Big kids. You can be whatever you want to be. Hurrah!

By Terry Oreilly
One of childhood's greatest delights is to see outside the box and, in fact, not to have any boxes at all.Why shouldn't a Moose be an astronaut?Set in the context of a movie about a moose, filmed by a crew of animals who are not even coming close to the roles adults assign them, the cartoons poke fun at themselves and challenge the mind.Charming, funny and inspirational.
