Ernest, the Moose Who Doesn't Fit by Catherine Rayner- ESSENTIAL


Rayner, Catherine. Ernest, the Moose Who Doesn't Fit, 32 pgs. Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR); Reprint edition, 2010. $15.99. Language-G; Violence-G; Sexual Content-G. “Ernest is a LARGE moose, with a BIG problem… He can’t fit into this book! Luckily, Ernest is also a very determined fellow, and he has a helpful little friend.”
We loved this book! We never anticipated the hidden surprise at the end of the story! It is absolutely one of our favorites. This book has many applications in the classroom: brainstorming solutions to Ernest’s dilemma; different ways to look at what seems an impossible situation; self esteem; and friendship. EL (K-3). ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: SL
