In more than 40 exuberant poems and "vandalized" photographs, you'll meet a city kid who fantasizes about farming on a stoop, a girl with crumpets and crepes in her head, and a boy with a pet cabbage, "Doctor Food" prescribes good food as medicine and "Dancing Kitchen" will have you shimmying with your skillet. From amuse-bouche to the very last pea on the plate, A Moose Boosh celebrates food--growing it, making it, slurping it and especially sharing it with loved ones at the dinner table. Bon appétit!
This Second edition includes a new cover, poems and Author's Note. The First Edition was named a 2015 American Library Association Notable Children's Book.
