Mooz is just a cat ... or is she?
I know a cat named Mooz, which means moose in Anishinaabemowin. But is she really a moose? Mooz races like a hare, sneaks through tall grass like a snake and caws like a jay. So which animal is she?
Full of fun animal comparisons that young readers will love to read aloud, Mooz is a lighthearted story about a beloved member of the family. This follow-up to the award-winning Boozhoo! / Hello! introduces children to animal vocabulary in both English and Anishinaabemowin. Includes an author's note and a translator's note. Audience: Ages 3-6.
