This Is a Moose

　　大導演帶著組員來到郊外，想拍一部關於駝鹿的紀錄片。沒想到他們找的這隻駝鹿不太聽話，牠不想站在湖邊吃草，反而想當太空人！導演氣炸了想重來，沒想到又出現愛打球的老駝鹿、跟想當醫生的長頸鹿來攪局。「你們這些動物能不能好好當動物啊？」導演大喊。「可是導演，你自己不是一隻鴨子嗎…」

　　由《晚安，工程車晚安》的繪者Tom Lichtenheld和作者Richard T. Morris創造的《This Is a Moose》徹底顛覆了我們對動物的刻版印象，強調每個人都該「做自己」的同時，更鼓勵我們把眼光放遠、把目標訂得更高。（文／博客來編譯）

　　Lights! Camera! Moose!

　　MOOSE? Yes, Moose! When a movie director tries to capture the life of a moose on film, he's in for a big surprise. It turns out the moose has a dream bigger than just being a moose--he wants to be an astronaut and go to the moon.

　　His forest friends step in to help him, and action ensues. Lots of action. Like a lacrosse-playing grandma, a gigantic slingshot into space, and a flying, superhero chipmunk.

　　In this hilarious romp, Richard T. Morris and bestselling illustrator Tom Lichtenheld remind us to dream big and, when we do, to aim for the moon.
