This was one of my favorites as a child (and teen, I'll be honest), and my sister loved it as much as I did. She actually still has our old copy from decades ago; it's one of her most cherished possessions. How I wish it was back in print, so I could get a copy for my own home library!
Morris Has a Cold
by Bernard Wiseman
For: 6-9yos
Genre: Humor
Published: 1989
Description: Morris the Moose has a cold and Boris the Bear tries various remedies to cure him.
Why I liked it: Oh, my! This book is FUNNY! If you've ever read a Morris the Moose book, then you know a little bit of which I speak. But this book tops the list of all-time funniest Morris adventures ever. I still can't figure out why they continue to print other Morris books, but not this one. I still laugh every time I read it (that is, when I can find a copy at the local library or convince my sister to pull it out and let me re-read). If you have a copy of this book, GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE. Or send it to me as a gift and I'll guard it with mine. Your choice.

And happy weekend reading!
Oh, my- a moose with a cold must sound awful! Making a cold funny is just what the doctor ordered.
ReplyDeleteTee hee hee...I'm giggling just thinking about all the silliness in this book!
DeleteLooks cute. I've never read this one. My kids have all outgrown picture books but maybe when I have grandkids I can read it to them or my nieces and nephews might like it. Also I've tagged you on my blog for the 7-7-7 challenge!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one, if you can find it!
DeleteGoing to check out your blog right now... (and thanks).
