A moose walks right into a boy’s home and introduces himself. The child narrator tells us:
In Maine, as you know,
The moose come and go.
They relax in the streams.
They make tracks in the snow.
. . . That is why, in this case,
Something seemed out of place,
To be here with a moose
In my house, face to face.”
Together, boy and beast play hide-and-seek (not the best game for a moose), walk to the general store, then take a tour of Maine. They fly about in a seaplane, they run the Penobscot River on a raft made of logs, they hang out on a dock in Camden, and they finish off with some “chocolate moose cake” at a café in Portland!
