In this early chapter book, we meet two dogs, Moose and Bear. Moose is missing an eye, and Bear is missing a leg, but the two are great friends and love to play together. They are living in a shelter where they get few visitors who might want to adopt them. One day, they are out in the yard, and deciding that neither looks much like the animal for which he is named. This escalates into both climbing up a tree and getting stuck there. Luckily, a woman named Cathy comes along and adopts both dogs. They are happy in their new home, and enjoy romping in the yard and getting treats from Mailman Joe. When a fence goes up, they are dismayed that they do not get to see as much of the world. They manage to tunnel under the fence and escape, but some home in time for dinner. When they crawl back under the fence and into the yard, they meet a new inhabitant, a cat named Tiger. Cathy washes up the new animal, but he has trouble sleepy. Moose and Bear helpfully try to sing Tiger to sleep and even trade beds with him. Eventually, the three snuggle up together and become best friends.

The representation of older, special needs dogs in this is wonderful, and much needed in the world of dog books. The level of text complexity also fills a gap in children's literature in that it is slightly longer than a picture book but not quite a beginning novel. Butler's Kayla and King series or I Can Read Books with be the closest comparison.

Moose and Bear are just goofy enough to get children giggling, but also has serious themes of family and togetherness. I loved how Bear and Moose tried to get Tiger to sleep, and how generous they were with sharing their toys. A sequel is in the offing, most likely having to do with Bear and Moose weathering a storm, which would be a great companion to the new Melling title, Ruffles and the Cozy, Cozy Bed!

My 7 year old read and loved this book! She said she loved how Moose and Bear and Tiger came together and made a family. As a parent I loved the added elements of showing diversity and uniqueness in each of the animals. A very fun and easy read with a great story and beautiful illustrations. We highly recommend!

I fell for these two characters right from the opening lines. The story of two rescue dogs being adopted together is completely charming and the fact that they both have disabilities, but just a part of who they are, is a wonderful touch. Great for my 6 year old who is just learning to read and my younger son who loves the storytelling and the charming illustrations. Now they want us to get a rescue dog. Uh oh, the book should come with a caution on that.
