Morris Goes to School (original 1970; edition 1996)

Morris Goes to School was one of my favorite books as a child. I read it over and over again, and I recall it made me want to read more. Morris Goes to School is about a moose who attends school and humorous events take place which make the reading fun and easy for a child who is just learning to read. As a fun assignment to a first or second grader, I would ask them, "What would you do if you had a moose for a classmate?" and see all the creative answers they could come up with and have them draw a picture to go along with their story.

I think this book is very fun and cute. I think a lot of children can relate to Morris since at first he was frustrated with school but later he came to like it and was excited to learn. This is also a great lesson for kids to encourage them to enjoy school in a fun and relatable way.

This the story of of moose attending school, it has lots of humor. I think it is a great early reader. with easy word yet a great storyline. ( )
