The Lonely Moose

The Lonely Moose by Segal, John. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781423101734.

Moose has no family, no friends, and rarely entertains visitors. That is, until the day he rescues a bird that cannot fly. Bird turns Mooses solitary life upside down. He sings in the mornings, talks all day long, and he likes to eat worms! As the days become weeks, Moose and Bird form a special friendship. They eat pond weeds for breakfast, swim every afternoon, and sometimes climb to the very top of the mountain just to enjoy the view. So when a forest fire separates the two friends, Moose is distraught. Bird still hasn’t learned to fly, how could he have survived? Fortunately, before Moose is able to return to his old ways, Bird finds him once again...and this time brings along a few new friends!
