M is for Moose

Synopsis

One of Canada’s leading visual artists, Charles Pachter, adds a Canadian twist to the alphabet book with his M is for Moose, a delightful and unexpected take on a form we thought we knew well.

Combining words and images, M is for Moose is both visually stunning and full of fun. It includes images from Pachter’s portfolio of famous paintings, including Joy Ride, with the Queen on a moose, and a young Margaret Atwood with flaming red hair. Covering the iconic to the playful, it celebrates our country, history, and culture while offering a spirited lesson in the ABCs.

An icon himself, Pachter’s work is collected globally. His M is for Moose is destined to become a classic of Canadian children’s literature.

Reviews

"I predict that not only will this book be a best-seller this season but that it is destined to endure as one of this country's all-time classics." - The Toronto Star

"A Book Charlie Drew Exudes Fine art, Grace + Humour."
- Arlene Perly Rae, author of Everybody's Favourites

"'M is for Most Marvellous,' an alphabet book whose quirky verse and brilliant paintings - that sparkling water, those nobly looming Moose, those Mouth-watering butter tarts - have Major Mojo. Any Canadian kid or former kid will be Mesmerized, and I think these indelibly vivid and iconic images will take up residence in their Minds. What a lovely legacy!"
- Michele Landsberg, author of Michele Landsberg's Guide to Children's Books
