Book Description
Ernest is a rather large moose with a rather large problem. He is so big he can’t fit inside his book! Luckily Ernest is also a very determined moose, and he and his little chipmunk friend aren’t going to give up easily. Will they find a way for Ernest to fit in? Featuring a surprise fold-out ending, children will love this stunning book from the award-winning Catherine Rayner.

A great big idea for a book squeezed, like Ernest the Moose, with charm and flair into an ordinary sized book.

Ernest is an exceptional moose, both exceptionally drawn in Rayner's free flowing lines, and exceptionally determined. He is also so large that he can't fit inside the book, but he isn't going to give up. And you can be sure that, with his trusty chipmunk friend, by the end of the story Ernest will be in the book - but how? It's a novel and surprising end which my children loved.
Brilliantly told in only seventeen short sentences, and with such striking artwork, this light-hearted book will amuse both preschoolers and their grown-ups. A cracker!

I bought this book due to a recommendation from a friend. It is not only a wonderful story but has masses of learning opportunities for children. The text is fun and easy to follow but has many chances for children to explore language through alliteration. My children enjoyed guessing what would happen to Ernest at the end. It also has mathematical possibilities through measuring and size which children would love to explore. This book is wonderful and I recommend it to everyone from Early Years up to the end of key stage 1.

Lovely concept and beautifully illustrated, although we would have liked a name for Ernest's little friend!

This is a lovely book. The story is very short and it has a bit of a surprise at the end. My 3 year old son loves reading it again and again even though he knows what happens at... Read more
