"Moose Mischief: A Pancake Surprise!" was a huge hit with my twin nephews. They wanted me to read it more and learn how to make pancakes. I recommend this for any little boy or girl. Would make a great gift and fun read.

Moose Mischief is a fun, silly story that keeps kids laughing on every page. The unique and beautiful hand-painted art creates a wonderful world for Cooper and the moose. And I love how after all the silliness, Cooper's mom has a great lesson for them at the end.

The Inspiration

Danielle Gillespie-Hallinan came up with the idea for "Moose Mischief: A Pancake Surprise!" after her husband, Peter, told her an endearing story about befriending a moose as a child. One summer in the 1980s, a moose started coming by Peter's house in Fairbanks, Alaska every afternoon to eat the crabapples off the tree in his front yard. Wanting to be friends, Peter decided to make himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and wait for the moose, so they could have lunch together. They soon became buddies! Danielle loved the story so much that she decided to create a children's book series about a boy and his moose friend.
