Laugh-Out-Loud
Super clever and witty. Every time I read it, I laugh at something new. From the Classifieds at the beginning of the book to the cliff hanger at the end (bear elf, perhaps?) every page will bring a smile to your face. This one will not get packed away after Christmas but will stay on the shelf throughout the year for everyone to read.

A Future Classic
This very “Christmas kind of story,” narrated by Santa Clause himself, is about Elmore the Moose’s ambitious attempt to land his dream job by responding to a help wanted ad from the North Pole seeking a temporary replacement for one of Santa’s eight flying reindeer. Despite giving it his all, Elmore finally accepts the reality that he just can’t do the job. Elmore is a good loser, however, and knows he lost the competition fair and square. But he also knows now that he’ll never regret not having at least tried to give his dream his very best shot. Cheerfully, he sends Santa a thank you letter along with a box of his delicious Chocolate Moose Cookies, which he reassuringly notes “don’t actually contain any moose.” Those cookies are such a hit at the North Pole that Santa thrills Elmore by offering him a different kind of job more suited to his culinary talents. Elmore’s no-kidding recipe for Chocolate Moose Cookies is helpfully provided on the book’s back cover. Another goodie at the back is a pop-out Christmas tree ornament featuring Elmore poking his sweet face out of a holly wreath. Adult readers are given their own special treat by displays of absolutely hilarious classified ads at the beginning and end of the book. (When the little ones ask why you’re laughing so hard, just give them a Chocolate Moose Cookie instead.) The creative team of Dev Petty and Mike Boldt have produced yet another beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated picture book, and this one I believe is likely to become a classic.

A Christmas picture book for children and adults
I absolutely loved Elmore the Christmas Moose. Petty’s witty dialogue and Boldt’s charming illustrations make it a perfect gift for children and adults. It warms the heart like a cup of hot cocoa, but it’s also about dreams, thinking outside the box of what’s possible. Those dreams might not work out, but that courage can result in new possibilities where “somehow everything works out just as it should.” It’s a delightful Christmas message, and don’t miss the very funny Classified Ads on the inside of the front and back cover!
