Description


Moose, the dashing bush pilot from Puffin the Architect, is to the rescue! With a full plane and bad weather, too, but three youngsters need his help, and this is the job he loves…

I’m Moose! And I fly a plane
with wheels, floats and skis.
I move parcels, food and folk
high above the trees.


Pilot Moose lives up high in a treehouse and has a very important job delivering goods in his bush plane through sun, snow and rain, landing in all kinds of terrain. But on this day, his adventures are even more exciting than usual - three fluffy youngsters need his help!

This is the third visually stunning story set in the delightful world of Puffin the Architect and her friends. The adventures of daring Pilot Moose will captivate readers young and old - especially fans of flying machines! Read all the books in Kimberly Andrews' award-winning series!

Praise For…


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
