-
素朴で愛嬌のある話として受け止められている。少し古風な書きぶりを感じる読者もいるが、町ぐるみの騒動と動物へのまなざしが印象に残る作品として読まれている。

We have an original copy that we bought at a used book sale years ago! I read it to our four sons over many years, and the one son - a "bookworm" read it many times as well. It is now in delicate condition, and now that we have our first grandchild I knew I wanted a copy I wouldn't worry about. This is such an engaging and wonderful story. It helps teach so much to our young people!

This book was a 1936 Newbery Honor winner that has been republished deservedly so. A cute story of two boys who discover a moose has found his way into the barn with the horses. After a bit of an uproar the town sort of adopts this moose that the boys name Honk. After years out of publication the mayor of the real - life town in the book did what he had to do to have this award winning book reprinted. Thank you sir! A short fast read and a great story.

I grew up in Biwabik, MN. This is a great story about the area and the love for the moose that can happen when you respect the animals of the wild. As a child, we had a pet deer.

This is a charming story that truly feels like a different time. I had to get online to figure out how to say the character's names! We really enjoyed reading it and are glad we stumbled on it!

Fun story perfect for elementary school children. Exciting and adventuresome all at the same time. Illustrations are wonderful and the story is captivating.
