When Grandma’s with a love for books go on vacation, they always leave room for special books in their luggage. At least, this Grandma does. Finding this delightful story in a Bar Harbor, Maine, gift shop was a highlight of the trip. I always like to bring back a momento that gives my granddaughter an idea of what the place I visited was like. I Met a Moose In Maine One Day did that and taught me more about the state I try and visit at least every other year. This present will get a lot more use than the stuffed lobster I brought back when she was two.

Highlights of this five-star book are fun rhyming pages, an adorable story, learning about Maine, and stimulating illustrations.

I Met a Moose in Maine One Day is only available in hardcover, from what I can see. The author and illustrator have purchasing info, study guides, coloring pages, and other goodies on their website. I saw a lot of intriguing titles there. Can her shelf hold more books? I think we’re going to have to find out.

Are you a travelling grandparent with a passion for books?

Thanks for reading,

Gina
