This Moose Belongs To Me – Oliver Jeffers Okay, so as you all know about my love (wee obsession) with Oliver Jeffers. His work is just so magical. So when this book popped into my work I had to snap it up with such haste that I didn't even look to see what it was about! In a similar style to Lost and Found, this book tells you of Wilfred who finds a moose and decides to call it Marcel. Marcel is a very obedient Moose, following the rules of being a good pet to Wilfred. But what happens when someone else decides that they own Marcel and he isn't really Marcel at all but someone entirely different. This book is different in style to some of Jeffers other work; whereas the rest of the books are pure illustration, this is more illustrations layered over old prints and paintings. It gives the book a nice quirk to the normal illustrations of other picture books.  I love the story. It captures the imagination just like the rest of Jeffers work does. There might not be much meaning behind his stories and there might not be a moral to it but the way it makes you smile as you are reading it proves that people of all ages will love it. Max is enjoying this book. We received a limited edition print with the book so he gets to see that in his bedroom all the time! He has also learnt about the word moose, which is really funny to hear him say! The book is only in hardback at the moment, but if you like any of his other works then this is a great addition to the collection.
