, a sweet story of a little boy who has a pet moose named Marcel. The plot combines humor, drama, and emotion to capture a child's attention. The book is also a great avenue for teaching the concept of mio, tuyo, suyo, and nuestro with it. Before reading the book I pass out plastic animals to my students.
