This is as finger-snapping catchy as Mother Goose with antlers. Kirkus Reviews ...a perfect bedtime story for city and country kids alike...Thanks, Arlo and Alice. Good night. The New York Times

Guthrie's first book is an endearing poem that is supposed to be about moose, but whose blithe rhymes have nonsense verse written all over them. Mooses come walking up over the hill./Mooses come walking, they rarely stand still. Only 12 lines long, the story is delivered a half-line at a time, complemented by acrylic paintings that have the simplicity of woodcuts in their bold black lines and even blocks of subdued color. The moose gather and peer into a window, where they see a terrified person in bed. Then they leave. There may be simple truths hidden between the lines, but even if there aren't, this is as finger-snapping catchy as Mother Goose with antlers. (Kirkus Reviews)
