This clever picture book tells readers right away what to expect. ?There once was a bear, a moose and a beaver who loved adventure. But sometimes their competitive natures got in the way of having fun.? One day, the three set off to climb a mountain together. But on the way there, they decide to make it more exciting by turning the climb into a race to the top. It's only after being sidelined by a series of mishaps --- a boulder tumbling down the path, the moose hanging off the side of the cliff, the bear hanging off the moose hanging off the side of the cliff --- that the three friends realize competitions don't always make for a good time. ?At the end of the day, the bear, the moose and the beaver agreed that reaching the top of the mountain was great, but enjoying the journey together was even better.? This funny, contemporary fable is from Nicholas Oldland's popular Life in the Wild series. The wonderful fun here is the comedy that highlights the adventure, in both the dry humor of the text as well as the simple, earth-toned illustrations that provide a humorous visual play-by-play of the action. This would make a terrifically entertaining storytime title, easily promoting the importance of teamwork, kindness and friendship. It could also be used in the early grades as part of a classroom discussion of woodland animals and their habitats. Another lesson here is the pleasure of getting outdoors for recreation.

From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—Oldland's latest tale starring Bear, Moose, and Beaver is about adventure, competiton, and friendship. Each animal mimics the other as they attempt to climb to the top of the mountain. During the story, Beaver decides that it's time to up the ante and declares, "the race is on!" Unfortunately for Moose, as he rounds a bend on the side of the mountain, a boulder comes toward him. He attempts to lunge out of the way, only to fall off a cliff. Bear hears Moose's cries of distress and attempts to help, only to find himself in trouble as well. Shortly after, Beaver hears his friends in need and comes to the rescue, After returning to safety, they realize that competition is not always best. Subsequently, while exploring together they discover that they enjoy the journey even more. As with many of Oldland's picture books, friendship and teamwork play an important role. Young readers will laugh at the antics of a little red bird as he mirror the actions of the other animals. With simple text and muted, neutral colored folk art-like illustrations done on plain white paper makes this an easy read that flows nicely. VERDICT Probably best for one-on-one sharing, this simple story is a charmer.—Megan McGinnis, Sachem Public Library, Holbrook, NY

My New Favorite Animal Series By Pop Bop The book's cover blurb tells you everything you need to know about the story - "There once was a bear, a moose and a beaver who loved adventure. But sometimes their competitive natures got in the way of having fun." . During the course of the fable-like story we observe that competitive streak, see the consequences, and enjoy the friendly and satisfying resolution.But, this isn't a "problem" book or a ham-fisted teaching fable. These three characters are fun, funny, and remarkably engaging. I can't exactly say why, but the way they are drawn just tickled some funny old bone somewhere deep inside. Even though they are simply drawn the pictures have tremendous movement and energy and personality, and a kind of gentle deadpan humor. Maybe it's because the Beaver is always smiling, the Moose always looks a bit quizzical and the Bear always looks totally mellowed out, but I instantly just liked these guys. I even liked the red bird who appears on each page observing the action. In any event, I challenge you to find a kid who won't like these three.Looking through the catalogue I see that this is book five in a series. There is one book at the outset of the series for each character, and then the fourth book has the three pals squabbling on a canoe trip. As far as I'm concerned they can keep writing these forever. (Since this is a Canadian production you can also get them in French, and somehow even that strikes me as appropros.)So, if you want to try something fun and a bit different, or if you want to strike out off the beaten path, this could be a very nice choice for your little picture book guy or gal. A very jolly find.Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Happy Fun Book! By Jerry L. Hillyer, II Title: Walk on the Wild SideAuthor: Nicholas OldlandPublisher: Kids Can PressYear: 2015Pages: 36[Disclaimer: I was provided an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my fair and unbiased review. I am not required to publish a positive review, just an honest one. So...here you go.]Walk on the Wild Side is a whimsical tale about a beaver, a bear, and a moose who decide one day to go on an adventure. We are introduced very early to what would eventually be the main 'conflict' in the book: the three animals loved adventure, but they are competitive--and this competitive streak sometimes gets in the way of their having a good, fun time.This story moves quickly from the decision to go on an adventure to the adventure to the conflict to the resolution. I like that the parts of the story are easily discernible and that the characters always seem to be smiling. I also enjoyed the easy text and that the amount of words on each page were limited to a few. This helped keep the story moving. I read the story to my students and they were engaged the whole way through the story. When we talked about it at the end, they were able to clearly define what happened in the story, recall elements of the story, and recall the characters in the story. It was also fun to have the students make predictions during the reading.When we were finished with the story, I asked if the students liked it and to a student they said, "Yes!"I am a sucker for the artwork in a kids book. The artwork in this book is strange and quirky, but it works and I love it. The color palate is limited to greens, greys, browns, blacks, and blues. The only other color was a small smattering of red that colored a bird that appeared on nearly every page--as if 'he' was watching the story unfold. I think the artwork is creative, fun, and in a positive sense, silly.In my classroom, this book was used to talk to the kids about being competitive. Some of my students always have to be first or 'boss' or make everything a matter of winning or being first. We talked about how it is important to work together, play together, and to simply have fun being with one another. This book was a great help. In other applications, this will be a good story for helping students make predictions and, perhaps, sequencing or ordering events in a story.A book has to be pretty bad for me to rate it lower than a five, and this book was not even close. It's a five star book that students will enjoy very much. This is a fun story that children will enjoy from front to back. I love this book because it was a fun and enjoyable read. I will be adding this to my personal library in my classroom. Highly recommended.5/5 Stars

Oldland’s message about competition vs. cooperation and the importance of enjoying the journey is carried lightly in his humorous illustrations: the bulky body and skinny legs of the moose, the pop-eyed, slightly manic beaver, and the deadpan bear add a delightful goofiness. This book will appeal to kids—and to the adults they beg to read it over and over again.
