MY REVIEW

I absolutely loved reading Marty Moose. I know girls and boys, parents and grandparents will love Marty Moose and how Marty Moose got his name. The author Claire Powell is an amazing gifted author, who made me laugh out loud with her very funny wording, throughout.

Marty Moose is highly hilarious, I can hear the children’s laughter.

How funny is this?

27 mice live in with his house all having to que for the bathroom.

Marty Moose, is a postmouse delivering mail in his home town Little Ditch.

The Annual Little Ditch Fastest Feather Race is on with a Golen Egg as the trophy that only birds can enter.

When Marty Moose has the job to collect the Golden Egg, for the race, he must be back in time for the winner to receive it.

Once Marty has collected the Golden Egg, Mary and his friend Nibbles have a troublesome adventure keeping it safe to arrive on time, before the race finishes?

I especially just loved all the amazing twists and turns!

I now must read book 1 as I have missed that.

And I’m wondering can the author please tell me if we will have book 3 of Marty Moose?
