This Moose book, my first - as I haven't read [b:Z Is for Moose|12576704|Z Is for Moose|Kelly Bingham|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349078804s/12576704.jpg|17587424], is complete silly chaos! However, there is a bit of basic shape learning that comes through the distraction.

I read an advanced copy.
