Brief Synopsis: This is a story about a little boy's imagination about what a moose would do if you gave him a muffin. This story takes you through the day of what the little boy thinks the moose will do with the muffin throughout the day.

Theme/Skill: Imagination/Journey/ Language Arts

Pre-activity: Have the students imagine they are a moose for the day. Have them give you some ideas of what they would do throughout the day being a moose. List these ideas on the board

Post-activity: Have the students create a timeline and pretend they are the little boy. Have them use their imagination and describe what they think a moose would do with the muffin throughout the day.

My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:

I really enjoy these serious of books! I think it brings out the creativity and imagination in children. I enjoy listening to the children's ideas of what they think the moose would do throughout the day with the muffin. I feel this story builds on imagination for children as well as providing a fun read.
