Big Blue Moose was written by moi`, lol, and illustrated by the fantastic illustrator, Kevin Scott Collier.
Blue Moose on the Loose
I do not spend near as much time as I would like promoting my stories. No good reason, other than I would much rather spend my time writing, painting, out and about with my camera or some other form of creating, than I would sending out manuscripts. I have decided though that this is important, and I will be focusing on getting my words out of their files and onto the desks of those who can help me actually breach the big scary world of publishing further than I have! I will also be sharing some of my stories within these pages too, so if you enjoy a good storybook, young or old, be sure to bookmark my little corner of the literary world and stop in once in a while and enjoy!

I would like to introduce you to 'Blue Moose on the Loose', which highlights Mouse McGhee...
Mouse McGhee is an illustrator ‘in’ picture books. What happens when he decides to set sail one evening? He creates a beautiful moonlit ocean complete with frothy waves and whales...but as he puts the final additions on his boat, he discovers that a moose has wandered into the wrong story. Moreover, he has painted right onto moose! Can Mouse McGhee paint fast enough to avert disaster...? Now, after a dunking in the blue-cheese sea, where has moose run off?
Blue Moose on the Loose
One big blue moose is on the loose,
Inside this very book.
Romping, stomping, through the pages!
So would you, could you look?
A moose that's blue? You ask me how?
Oh where to even start,
It's quite a story to hear told,
Each and every part…
First let me introduce myself,
My name is Mouse McGhee
Illustrator of story tales,
And sometimes, well, you’ll see…
Stay tuned for the rest of this story coming to a bookstore near you in the not too distant future!
