Book Description

Publication Date: July 31, 2001 | Age Level: 8 and up

You think it's easy being a moose?

Think again! Even though I'm big, I'm just a baby. I love my mother and my friends. Like Dudley, the beaver, who named me. And Snow, the little wolf, who loves to play tag. His family's another matter. What really scares me is people. Mother said they're the most dangerous creatures in the forest. I certainly didn't want to meet them....

Snow and I are young, so naturally we're curious. One day we were playing tag...and ran into a schoolyard by mistake! (Okay... we didn't run -- we fell!) Right smack in the middle of all these strange animals, weird buildings, and terrifying machines. Yoweeee! Did we ever learn a lesson there....

About the Author

Carol Wallace and Bill Wallace live west of Chickasha, Oklahoma, far from the home of Bub Moose. Years ago, on a trip to the Whiskey Basin Wilderness area in Wyoming, Bill came face-to-face with a baby moose. When he and Carol traveled to Montana, they enjoyed the tales that the residents had of moose encounters. Carol was fascinated and hoped to get only a glimpse of one of the gigantic creatures. They went home without spotting a single moose.

Shortly after the trip, Carol and their daughter, Nikki, decided to go on a "moose hunt" in Oklahoma. The end result was just the beginning of Nikki's special collection, as well as the inspiration for this story.

Mush, one of the family's six dogs, served as the model for Snow.
