(3) K-3 Illustrated by Keika Yamaguchi. Shouting commands at the animal construction workers, abrasive Moose takes over managing a job site while contributing little muscle to the building effort. The nicely varied rhyming text moves the action along until bossy Moose gets his comeuppance when he's trapped inside the finished tree house. Expressive color illustrations capture the animal workers' frustration.
