His kindness and quick thinking help him make a new friend ... and find his perfect color!

Critical Reviews

"The moose's exuberant, persevering nature is a constant in both the text and the digital art--as is humor. The lighthearted narrative is peppered with cultural tidbits and French words, while the images of Finley striking dramatic poses are utterly charming... Young fashionistas will have a blast." -- Kirkus
