If you give a moose a muffin… In my small group I learned that you should never give a moose a muffin because the moose turned out to be very needy. To be completely honest I forgot about my favorite childhood book, but that didn’t stop me from calling my parents and asking. It just so happened to be If You Give a Moose a Muffin. During this small group of five we had to bring our favorite childhood book and read it out loud in a very intriguing way. I, myself, was a little nervous because I felt pressured to read out loud and that I was going to stutter to the point where no one can even understand me.
