Mmmm.....Chocolate Moose for Dinner


If you remember the classic television show "The Munsters" then you know who Fred Gwyne is. Herman Munster wrote A Chocolate Moose for Dinner and did a fantastic job of taking us into the child's mind. The story literally takes what children may hear and puts it into to the child's imagery. A man "held up a bank" shows a man holding......well.... A BANK! The puns and picture make for a delightful story that takes me back to my youth when this was one of my favorite stories. It even delves into government issues, poking fun at the "arms race" and "gorilla war fare". The pictures are wonderfully thought out and very entertaining.
