A boy and a moose become fast friends in this rhyming charmer from the creators of The Boston Balloonies, The Cods of Cape Cod, and Champ and Me By the Maple Tree. Together, boy and beast play hide-and-seek (not the best game for a moose), walk to the general store, then take a tour of Maine. They fly about in a seaplane, they run the Penobscot River on a raft made of logs, they hang out on a dock in Camden, and they finish off with some chocolate moose cake at a cafe in Portland!

    Ed is the award-winning author of 14 children's books (and counting). He has also published his novel, "The Backstage Man" — a labor of love that he co-authored with his cousin, Robert Gordon, over the course of 35 years.

    Ed’s entire life has been one long creative project. In addition to writing fiction for both children and adults, he is a performing musician (lead guitarist/singer/songwriter) and painter. Who knows, maybe some day he’ll take up ballet! (We’ll keep you posted.) Creativity has also been the driving force in his professional career where he served as a Chief Creative Officer in the advertising industry.

    Ed lives in Ipswich, MA, with his wife and best friend, Miriam.

    Dave O'Neill is an Illustrator and Art Director. Throughout his career, Dave has worked with several advertising and marketing agencies where he specialized in children's brands and event planning but he'd rather be drawing animals wearing hats. When he's not bringing Ed's rhymes to life, he lends his design skills to The Growing Stage—The Children's Theatre of New Jersey where he serves as President of the Board of Trustees. He is the recipient of the 2019 Award of Excellence from the New Jersey Theatre Alliance for his work there.

    About the Shankman and O'Neill Library

    For over 10 years, Author Ed Shankman and Illustrator Dave O'Neill have collaborated to create rhyming picture books that have found a special place in the hearts of families across the nation. Your children will lose themselves in the dazzling illustrations, the irrepressible imaginings, and the magical, mesmerizing music of words.

    ​You’ll love reading these books aloud as whimsical notions tumble off your tongue in sparkling rhyme.

    Dave and Ed have created twelve additional books in the Shankman & O'Neill library and believe a movie studio should approach them with plans for a cinematic MOOSE-iverse.

    So whether you choose the award-winning “I Met a Moose in Maine One Day”, the family favorite, “My Grandma Lives in Florida”, the heart-warming “The Sea Lion’s Friend”, the giggle-inducing “Where’s the Bathroom” or any other Shankman & O’Neill classic, you and your family will discover a blend of creativity, meaning, and pure fun that you’ll want to share again and again.

I love Ed Shankman's books…this one is near and dear to me because I grew up in Maine and know all about the moose! I love reading this book to my little one and she loves having it read to her. I pretty much know all the words…the rhyming is awesome! His other books are great, too! Rhyming books are fun to read and important for literacy education! You'll love this book if you buy it and I encourage you to do just that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute book for Maine lovers

This is an adorable story about a boy who meets a moose. It references things/places specific to Maine and is a great read for kids. The rhyming is a little much for me, but fun. My only complaint is that I couldn't get it as a board book so my little guy can't rip the pages out, but that's minor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for my 1 and a half year old
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2008
Verified Purchase
I got this book because my son loved the "Boston Balloonies" so much and this had the same illustrator and author. This book tells the story through the eyes of the little boy, so the illustrations are even more expressive. The bright colors and expressive facial expressions on the characters helped captivate my 1 and a half year old. I'll admit that he doesn't have the attention span to get through the whole book yet, but I imagine that it would be perfect for kids starting at 2 and going all the way through grade school.

Just like Boston Balloonies, the text rhymes in a "Suess-ish" fashion, so that also is great for little ears.

It's a nice hard-cover binding with full-color pages. It's not a board book, but the pages are thick enough to not tear easily. Great price!

Recently took a trip to Maine and came across this book. Was a great way for my daughter to commemorate the trip in lieu of things she doesn't really need like stuffed animals. The book is really cute and well written. The entire book rhymes which is perfect to read to a toddler. I highly recommend it!

It's a really nice book, with nice pictures, good rhymes and a funny story. My child loves it and I wish it was also available in Italian.
Un libro molto carino, con delle belle illustrazioni e rime. La storia e' divertente e piace molto. Peccato non sia disponibile anche in italiano, come molta della letteratura straniera per bambini che non e' tradotta.
