Moose

 By Michael Foreman

This is an anti-war book.  Moose won't fight like Eagle and Bear, and instead builds a monument to peace that inspires all the animals to lead peaceful lives.

 This book is also about teamwork, building a community, and the pleasure that singing brings.

It is also full of puns.

It's pretty heavy handed, but it isn't completely terrible.  Dated, maybe, but not terrible.  The kids really like it, and it has a seriously hippie message (and I'm a pretty big hippie in a lot of ways), so I give it a pass.
