School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 K-Gr 2—This latest entry gives readers three more stories about the inimitable moose. At the swap meet, Hornbeam trades his badminton racquet for a trophy that reads "Best Listener." In the second chapter, he plays volleyball on the blue team but finds that his horns are a tangle hazard near the net. And in the final story, Hornbeam receives a birthday party invitation to a place he's always wanted to visit: Adventure World! This is an authentic text that nevertheless provides practice in recognizing sight words and in decoding base and root words with prefixes and suffixes. Don't be fooled by the trim size: Hornbeam belongs in the company of Rylant's beloved previous series for emerging readers, like Henry and Mudge and Mr. Putter and Tabby. VERDICT For decoding practice or for sheer enjoyment, don't let the kids in your orbit miss out on Hornbeam the moose. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
