A Moose in Disquise in NYC: Let the Adventure Begin

by Cowles Kimberly

Overview

Buck's story is a whimsical adventure about a moose navigating the chaos of Manhattan while in disguise complete with a trench coat, glasses, and a hat. Alongside his witty bird companion, Gus, Buck faces humorous mishaps, makes unlikely friends (like a feisty squirrel and a kind family in Central Park), and discovers the contrasting charm between city life and his peaceful home in Pinewood Forest.
At its heart, the book explores themes of transformation, friendship, and the joy of embracing new experiences while staying true to oneself. Buck's return to the forest brings a touching reminder: adventures are best when shared with those we care about.
