Here is a book on moose recommended by a Mooseworld contributor as "the best book I have ever seen about the moose."

And our resident moose biologist says that "It is the most comprehensive book on moose ever published. You will literally find everything you ever wanted to know about moose in this volume."

In outstanding photos and authoritative text, Moose covers the natural history of moose around the world, including range, diet, personality traits, breeding, social structure, and their interaction with humans both today and in history. Geist, a zoologist and professor, details the threats they face, and he passionately pleads for their preservation. Moose also includes sidebars and appendices, plus a list of organizations involved in moose issues.

This book on our favorite animal begins with a chapter on "Old Bucketnose," a name for the long-faced moose. Written by biologist Paul Strong with pictures by leading moose photographers, the book covers just about everything. Click below to see the index and other sample pages.

Bill Silliker, Jr. was one of the top professional photographers of moose. And Maine is one of the top places to see moose. Put them together and you have this very special book about wildlife with a chapter on the "Gentle Giants."

Here is another book by Bill Silliker, Jr., this one with a "tongue in cheek" look at moose.

In MOOSE DROPPING & OTHER CRIMES OF NATURE, author Tom Brennan writes about the indignant tourist who hears of moose droppings, and wants to know from what height the moose are dropped; about the practical joker in Sitka who creates a near-panic when he charters a helicopter to drop a load of old tires into the crater of a nearby dormant volcano, the sets the tires on fire; about the equally engaging tales of people, animals and politicians.

Children will like the story of a moose and his forest friends building a cabin, and parents will like the message of cooperation. Both will like the emphasized words that rhyme and the repetition. Set in Alaska, this book was written and illustrated by the same team as The Giant Cabbage. We think this book is suitable for children 3-6.

Since he can't budge it, he has to get help from his animal friends. Richly told and illustrated, this book is suitable for children aged 4-7 in our opinion.

Collect all 12 Rocky & Bullwinkle videos and plan to laugh with the cartoon moose who gets around.

Volume 10 Painting Theft.

In order to steal a priceless collection of art masterpieces from a Paris museum, archvillains Boris and Natasha fold the unframed paintings up, put them in a small package, and mail them to a certain moose in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota--figuring that only Bullwinkle would sell them the paintings back. Ah, the classic world of Jay Ward animation! The compilation Painting Theft demonstrates what makes Rocky & Bullwinkle unique among cartoons: their elaborate, episodic storytelling. Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera cartoons relied almost exclusively on single situations and freewheeling slapstick, but Rocky & Bullwinkle stories stretched on and on, with snaky, absurd twists. Not only did this allow the animators to come up with a wide variety of jokes and puns (terrible, terrible puns), but it also let them delight in the sheer joys of storytelling--how rapidly and deliriously they could gallop from one silly circumstance to the next. Even the shorter cartoons (Dudley Do-Right, Peabody's Improbable History, and Fractured Fairy Tales) are packed with wild reversals and ridiculous turns. Plus, they used some superb voice talent (including Edward Everett Horton, a great character actor best known for supporting roles in Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals), and had an eye for sneaky satire of the adult world--as can be seen when Bullwinkle's whitewashed canvases spark an insane bidding war in the art world. Rocky & Bullwinkle are a consistent pleasure. --Bret Fetzer
