Friday Reads: Morris Has a Cold

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
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.

  1. Oh, my- a moose with a cold must sound awful! Making a cold funny is just what the doctor ordered.

  2. Looks 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!
