Morris the Moose audiobook

My five-year-old read this on her own, and then brought it to read to me because she enjoyed it so much.

From Elijah: "Morris needs to be educated. And book was really funny. And Morris called a cow a moose."

The late American philosopher Gareth B. Matthews discussed the philosophical side of this book in his "Thinking in Stories" Column for the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children, available here: https://www.montclair.edu/iapc/review.... I remember as a child being perplexed at the taxonomy of the animal world. Are dogs related to cats? Horses to cows? Who can marry who and who can be friends with who? As Matthews observes, "The problem of essential and accidental properties is a problem of meta­physics. Some of the issues it raises can also be conceived as problems in taxonomy – how to classify things." In either case, "The plot of this little story could hardly be simpler; yet the questions it raises are very profound."

This book was so funny and I loved Morris. I wanted to take him home as a pet lmao. But I enjoyed all the characters and the way the story was written. I read this story in elementary school and I still remember it that's just how good it was.

My kids loved it! They were laughing throughout the book.

A quick, funny, delightful tale!

It is fun to read this book. Everyone thinks others are the same animals. Then they know the difference when they see their shadows .

A classic. Funny with delightful drawings.

Super cute book

Morris called a cow a moose and they went to a deer and he said that Morris the Moose and the cow were a deer and all those three went to a horse and the horse said "Hey you horses what are those funny things on your head?". They went to the pond and they all noticed they didn't look like each other. Then they all said "You mean that (they are not the same thing as the other persons". Then the cow said "You made a mistake and the moose said "I did not, I made a MOOSEstake."

This book is a carefree and funny book! I enjoy how each animal thought the others were the same as their own, only because they each had four legs, a tail, and things on their heads. The book shows children to be accepting of each other's differences and to be open to making mistakes. Each character in the book made a mistake, but they all were OK with their mistakes in the end. The moose even says, "I made a MOOSEtake!"

Morris the Moose is funny and could use a little help when it comes to life. Any preschool age till about first grade would enjoy Morris' stories. There is very understandable vocabulary and words to be picked out easily. There are also plenty of opportunities to use your best "moose voice" to make your readers chuckle along with you. Would recommend.

Morris the Moose books are fun to read with your child (or have them read) His way of thinking is always backward from real life, and always funny. Nice for little guys to laugh and giggle along the story. In this one he comes across a cow and a deer and they all think they are each other...Morris thinks they are weird looking moose, the cow think they are all cows etc.

This book is very clever and it teachers students again about inclusion. It describes how a moose, a deer, and a horse are confuse each other for their own; a cow ends up being the one that shows the animals that they are different from one another. It teaches students that different people can live in harmony together.
