Moose! by Robert Munsch

Munsch and Martchenko turn their creative attention on a moose -- with hilarious results! Luke gets up early one Saturday morning and finds a moose in the backyard. He wakes up his dad, and then his mom, and each declares that "moose never come on the farm" -- only to be surprised by the moose itself! 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 takes a nice bath. Luke feeds the moose carrots and decides to keep it in his treehouse, until his sister comes along, with a surprising solution to this unusual problem! Moose! was inspired by a young boy from Cape Breton Island.
