This Is a Moose

A moose is ready for his close up at a film shoot in the wild. "This is a moose," says an unseen narrator. But at the turn of the page, we see the moose in a space helmet (antlers protruding), and the narrator says, "This moose wants to be an astronaut." "Cut!" yells the director, who turns out to be a duck. "Excuse me, but moose cannot be astronauts." He tries Take Two, but it's interrupted by the moose's grandmother, who reveals that when she was his age, she wanted to be a lacrosse goalie. Take Three gets interrupted by a giraffe who says he always wanted to be a doctor. The silliness and mayhem continue, until the very frustrated duck screams, "Will somebody please find me an animal that acts like it's supposed to!!!" Then he looks around at his diverse film crew, which includes an elephant, monkey, kangaroo, bear, and more and says softly, "Oh." Then they all join in on the moose's impossible space mission.
