Su questo libro

Recensione:

Meg Rosoff s Moose Baby (£6.99), one of Barrington Stoke s excellent series for dyslexic teens, is a surreal story about a girl who gives birth to a moose. It s like a curious take on Metamorphosis but with laughs. It is full of subverted birth clichés from the midwife s Just look at his lovely wee hooves to the debate over names as the teenage parents realise Isabel is not an option. Nick stared at the furry creature in the cot. I could understand his disappointment. We d both been convinced we were having a girl. And a human being. --Dinah Hall, The Telegraph
