Description
An homage to storytime, libraries and community by Inga Moore, one of the most acclaimed children’s bookmakers working today.
Moose's Book Bus introduces us to Moose, the most fantastic storyteller. Every night after dinner, he gathers with his family around the fire to recount an enchanting story. However, one evening, Moose is at a loss for a single tale he hasn't already shared! What he needs is a book of stories. In fact, what they all need is a library.
With assistance from the friendly librarian in town, Moose recycles an abandoned bus from the junkyard, transforming it into a mobile library – a book bus! Now, the whole neighbourhood can experience the magic of stories together.
This companion to A House in the Woods showcases beloved picture book maker Inga Moore's ability to craft a heart-warming story that celebrates the joy of reading aloud, and the power that libraries have to bring communities together.
