What Parents Need to Know
About A Chocolate Moose for Dinner
Parents need to know that, when it comes to content, they can rest easy reading this lighthearted book to their kids. The visual interpretations are comic enough to keep 4- to 8-year-olds entertained and also offer a lively commentary on the capricious side of the English language.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the meaning and origins of silly-sounding words and phrases like "chocolate mousse" (which, of course, sounds just like "chocolate moose") and "guerrilla war" (which sounds like "gorilla war"). Parents can also explain that these words and phrases are called homonyms and idioms, and can talk about the differences between the two concepts. Are there any homonyms you can think of that aren't mentioned in the book? What about idioms?
