Morris the moose Book

Personal Response:
My brother and I read Morris the Moose by B.Wiseman. My brother's name is Brandon Patino Luna. He is five years old and is in kindergarten. My brother and I enjoyed reading the book; it was a humorous story. My brother was able to relate to this book himself. This was because he sometimes thought things had to be the way he believed. Even though Brandon is young he was able to understand the moral the story was trying to explain. I also was able to understand what the moral was behind the story. The author did a great job of writing the book in third person point of view. This made it easier to understand what all the animals' point of view was. It also helped the reader see how Morris changes his point of view throughout the story. The confusions and mistakes that Morris made seemed hilarious to both me and my brother. The humor in the book made the book more and interesting and fun to read.

Plot:
All throughout the story Morris was trying to discover what kind of animals his friends were. Most of the time Morris believed that all his friends where Mooses just like him. This made his friends frustrated and confused. He and his friends went to other animals for their opinions on what type of animals' each of them where. The other animals didn't help them out much, instead they made them even more confused. All the confusions that Morris made make him seem silly. All throughout the story the author was trying teach a moral. I believed that the moral was we should not make conclusions before we know the answer. This means don't jump to a conclusion before knowing the real answer. In the story Morris and his friends jump to conclusions on what type of animal they were based on what they knew and believed. This what caused all the confusion.

Recommendations:
I believed that this book was wrote for younger kids. Kids at age level 3k through kindergarten would enjoy reading this book because the vocabulary used seemed easier. There were also few words in the book, so younger kids would be able to easily read it. Both genders would enjoy reading this book because the book was not gender specific and the moral was relatable for everyone.
