I'm in the moose for love
Mischievous cupid is blind to race and creed, and apparently to species too! I was trying to think of examples of romance in picture books, and then remembered a book I worked on in my earliest publishing job, A Moose for Jessica by Pat A. Wakefield, with photographs by Larry Carrara (Dutton, 1987).
It is the true story of a moose named Josh who came out of the Vermont woods and fell in love with a Hereford cow named Jessica. The romance lasted for 76 days and is wonderfully documented in this photo-essay.
