Premise/plot: Moose is VERY imaginative in this one. (A bit out of character maybe from his introduction???) He loves to imagine he is an astronaut in space. Duck is NOT imaginative--at least not at first. (Again not how I'd imagine him to be based on the introduction). Moose is happy to imagine alone...Duck wants to be involved. But Duck's plans for playing together and Moose's plan conflict. Duck wants dinosaurs involved. Moose decidedly does not. Can these two friends stay friends when show more their imaginations go wild?

My thoughts: This one was silly. I enjoyed how the imaginings were illustrated. I definitely enjoyed this one more than the first book. Though I still don't know if I actually KNOW-KNOW the characters. But it was silly and fun. show less

First sentence: Ahhh. What a beautiful day. The sun is shining....the birds are chirping....the bees are buzzing....Blech. I hate it. I want some quiet.

Premise/plot: Moose meets Duck. Duck is SO different from Moose. Duck definitely knows how to liven things up a bit. Moose is a little reluctant to be friends with Duck....yet Duck may just win Moose over by the end. These two may even become best friends.

My thoughts: I liked this one. I don't know that I crazy loved it. However, it was, I show more believe, the first in a new series. The characters may very well grow on me if I keep reading the series. And this early chapter book is graphic novel. show less

Great lesson in admitting your fears and being a good friend, wrapped in Duck and Moose's signature humor. So good.

Kirk really nailed all the steps of hiding a mistake in the most hilarious fashion of course. Like always a solid friendship lesson, I think this is my favorite yet!
