Find a Moose With Me is a charming little counting book. Little Oscar goes out moose spotting with his parents and counts some critters on the way. The illustrations are cute and the story is nature friendly. They may or may not find the moose.

My favourite thing about the book was the numbers that were more or less hidden in the pictures. My least favourite thing were the four branches in the breeze because it looked like those trees had many more branches than that.

I got a digital review copy from Netgalley, these are just my opinions, and pineapple belongs in a pizza.

As a child I used to find maps in the front of story books sparked my imagination so I was pleased to see one in this book. The illustrations are delightful as is the rhyme and counting opportunities. Beautiful book. A firm 5/5 stars from me. My thanks to Netgalley, publisher and author for the opportunity to review a digital copy in exchange for my opinions.

This is a joyous read about a family bringing a little boy on his first moose hunt. The rhymes are cheerful and sweet, and the illustrations likewise. I could see this being a child’s favorite very easily, it has that classic timeless quality.

Find a Moose with Me! is a cute counting book that I think would be great for children under 5. This book includes rhymes, a nice and quick storyline, counting, and lovely illustrations. I really loved how the illustrations included the number that page was dedicated to somewhere blended into the picture, you could have children find the number while reading and they can also count the objects that the book is talking about on the particular page.

Very cute little book! Read it to my 1 year old who liked the rhymes. It would be great when he’s older to help with counting, but for now it helps a lot to broaden his vocabulary while hearing words he wouldn’t normally hear in day to day conversation or in some of the other children’s books he has. He did really like the turtle illustrations best! He wasn’t sure what to make of the moose since he’s never seen one and called it a kitty cat. Close enough.

Find a Moose with Me is such a charming counting book. With cute illustration depicting the furry friends of the forest, this book will surely please the little ones in your life.

Rated it five stars. I loved everything about it -- the rhymes, the illustrations, and the storyline of hunting for a moose. I will certainly add it to my gift list for the grandkids.

Cute adventure story. Loved the visualization and the onomatopoeia and descriptive words. The counting and numbers incorporated into the illustrations was fun and interactive. Introduction to various forest animals was a treat. The illustrations were attractive and just right, not too busy, and the soft colors were appealing. I have a son who loves and collects moose and he loves this book. I think this book will be circulated often in the library as I have had requests for books with visualization lately. Great as a read-aloud for story-time too! I think this book would appeal to toddlers up to age 7. I received this book from NetGalley and was attracted by the title and pleasing cover.

Amazing! My three year old twins loved this book. It is engaging, fun, and helps them with their learning. I can’t wait to buy a paper copy. They have already read it twice and I can easily see it becoming a favorite.

"Find a Moose with Me!" is a children's book by Suzanne Buzby Hersey that features counting, animals, and plenty of fun! Young readers will follow along on a young boy's first trip to find a wild moose. The adventure takes plenty of turns and will leave the reader wondering if the mysterious moose will ever appear.

This book was a hit in our household! As a parent, I enjoyed the storyline and I loved that my kids were counting along with the book and hunting for the hidden numbers in the illustrations. Our young readers loved the plot as well and were anxiously turning pages to see if Oscar would find the moose. Educational, entertaining and engaging, "Find a Moose with Me!" is the quintessential children's book that belongs on every young reader's shelf!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. I have a 2 yr old grandson who loves the outdoors and is adventurous. He would thoroughly enjoy this. I love how it ties in the counting of things that Oscar sees. Very cute book.

We love moose! So this was a given. Had my littlest counting along asked when the moose was coming. The pictures are simple and cute. The writing flows.

A Countdown Adventure. This is my personal review for the ARC

What a fun book to read to a child. The words are great and not your typical words which makes it an enjoyable read with so many rhyming words! The illustrations were amazing!
I will defiantly be looking for this books to give as gifts this holiday season.

A delightful and educational title! I love how the numbers are hidden. This was done tastefully and creatively. Readers of all ages would enjoy this title and topic. The rhyming is appealing to parents and children. I can see my older daughter who is an emerging reader practice a read aloud to her younger siblings. I will be sharing this title!

Lovely little book that is very easy to read and would keep a child interested throughout .
The verses were short and sweet,band rhymed which I always love in children's books.
I liked the fact that it involved counting actual animals which means your child gets involved and stays interested. But not only that, there were actual numbers almost hidden in the books which my daughter loved trying to find too.
The illustrations were quite simple but very cute too - all round a great book.

A big thank you to NetGalley and McSea Books for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a children's counting book. This is a very cute story plus counting! The graphics were slightly disappointing. Very cute idea, but some of the descriptive words were odd. Slam? Did appreciate the hunt for the numbers. Overall just ok. 3.5 stars

Super cute and easy to read book. Great for learning how to count and I enjoy the fact that there were numbers hidden in the pages so it wasn't just a quick, oh look at this, then move on. It is definitely more interactive.
