About the book
About the author
KEEP YOUR FORK. That's what my Grandma used to tell me after a big meal. Keep your fork. It meant, "the best is yet to come." So even after stuffing ourselves, eating a little bit of everything from a huge table of home-cooked-goodness, we were always reminded that the best stuff was on its way. That's how I feel about my work. So enjoy this schmorgesborg of visual dishes, but remember...keep your fork. The best is yet to come.

About the book
From the author of "This Is a Taco" comes another delightful book that kids will love. The book starts out with an apology from humiliated Moose:
"Sorry I crashed into your book. Let me find the missing "O", and I'll get out of your way."
Moose feels embarrassed for causing the mishap and from his next statement you can tell his self-confidence is at an all-time low and he just wants to disappear into the woods.
"I'm not sure I'm the best moose for the job. I fall down a lot. That's why everyone calls me "Whoopsie."
The book starts out by highlighting accurate facts concerning moose. Moose are tall, they can run fast and leap high but poor Whoopsie knows that he can't accomplish any of those things well. He is clumsy and awkward and try as he might he just can't be fit into those molds and he feels downhearted and that he is a failure.
After a series of missteps Moose has a Eureka moment! Wow! He might just create a story about him falling down a lot. That would be a hit for sure. He would be telling HIS moose story from a different point of view and he would let others know that it is alright to be unique from the others. He learns to accept his shortcomings and learns to embrace his idiosyncrasies. This is a wonderful story about being diverse and mostly about being staying true to yourself. I highly recommend this book.
