A Maine moose hits the road

A chance meeting in the Maine woods sends Moose beyond the only home he has known, alongside Rus, a truck driver bound for Florida. Their trip brings small firsts into the familiar routines of long-haul trucking: Moose helps with navigation, tries pizza, and beds down in the truck’s cab. The book pairs an animal-and-road-trip premise with the growing bond between two unlikely companions, using the journey to frame discovery and friendship.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy animal-centered stories
  • Young readers interested in trucks, road trips, and new experiences
  • Families looking for a story about friendship between unlikely companions

Book overview

What begins as a scary almost-accident turns into a road-trip adventure, and then a lasting friendship between a truck driver and the moose who joins him for a ride.

Moose has never left his home in the Maine woods, but when he meets Rus, a long-haul trucker on his way to Florida, the two team up and hit the road together. Moose helps Rus navigate, eats his first slice of pizza, and settles into a bunk bed in the truck's cab after each day's work. What new discoveries await these unlikely friends?
