Review Quotes

Moose the Pilot is all about delivering things (in a cool little plane) to out of the way places, but it is also about delivering kindness, keeping in touch, making things, looking out for our neighbours. A warm treat of a story. Paula Green, Poetry Box

Andrews...creates adorable double page spreads that readers will spend hours poring over. Her illustrations are a veritable feast - and, like her previous books, offer so much more to the story than if reading the text alone. There's hints and clues, and plenty of character and setting development, nestled within the artwork. So too is Andrews's sense of fun - a peek inside Moose's home reveals an interesting to do list and a wonderful bookshelf....It's a fun book to read aloud, with plenty of opportunity to add theatrics to it. Readers already familiar with Andrews's previous books will be delighted by Moose, and new readers will fall in love with the residents of Lofty Alps. We can't wait to see who Andrews takes to visit next. Rebekah Lyell, NZ Booklovers

Full of ingenuity and adventure, with an awesome map and heaps of interesting details in the vibrant illustrations. Crissi Blair, Family Times

Moose the Pilot firmly establishes Kimberly Andrews as an author/illustrator of note. Highly recommended. Julie Harper-Taylor, Magpies
