Books in Moose and Hildy series

Moose is proud of his big, beautiful antlers. So when they fall off one autumn, he doesn't like it one bit. Without them, he looks like any other moose. Luckily, it's hunting season, so Moose has to stay inside. He reads, does puzzles, and paints with the materials his best friend, Hildy-a pig-brings him. Then he gets his BIG IDEA. Why not sell his paintings? Moose exhibits his artwork and even manages to strike up a conversation with a passing hunter, who thinks his art is lovely. Readers will cheer for Moose as he dupes the hunter and manages to make a buck in this hilarious story about a moose and his loyal porcine friend.

Moose is amazed when he sees a sign by the side of the road that says "Moose Crossing." He must be very important to have his own sign, although his best friend, Hildy, doesn’t agree. When tourists arrive, hoping to catch sight of him, Moose finds he can’t go anywhere without being recognized. Suddenly his life isn’t as simple as it used to be. Maybe being famous isn’t all that great. Stephanie Green’s witty humor and Joe Mathieu’s lively black-and-white artwork make this a not-to-be-missed transitional reading book.

Hildy almost becomes the dinner at a Pig Pickin’ barbecue. Moose’s best friend, Hildy, is thrilled when a farmer invites her to enter a Pig Pickin’ contest down South. She thinks it’s a beauty contest, and Moose is eager to go with her. When they get to the county fair, however, Moose starts to worry. The farmer keeps offering Hildy pizza and ice cream. Why is he so interested in fattening her up? Is the Pig Pickin’ really a beauty contest—or is Hildy going to become the barbecue? Moose uses his wits to save his best friend from a terrible fate in this funny story about friendship and loyalty.
