A BIG THANKS to ALL! Look who's reading our book...


We would like to thank all those who took part in The Moose at the Manger Book Bash!  If you have any pictures you'd like to share of you reading our book please send them to us and we'll be sure to highlight you here on our blog!

Here's a lovely picture of Virginia Finnie reading The Moose at the Manger to her grandsons!  


After reading this book with her grandchildren, this is what Finnie had to say.

"Cuddle up with your children and enjoy this wonderful story of a little moose lost in the woods that is rescued by Star Bright, the Christmas Star.  This wonderfully imaginative story finds Muse,our little moose, transported by Star Bright to the very first Christmas.  Children will be captivated as they are transported along with Muse and imagine themselves looking upon baby Jesus in the manger.

"The Moose at the Manger is destined to become a Christmas favorite.  The beautiful illustrations and finely written text beckon children and parents alike to cuddle up and read this story over and over again, year after year."  Virginia Finnie

We definitely give this our 

It was very kind of you Virginia to share this wonderful picture of you and your grandsons! Thanks!


Virginia Finnie is not only a grandmother, but she is an author herself. To read more about her and her children's book "Hey Warrior Kids! Put On Your Armor" just click one of the following links below.




Again, thanks to all who took part in our Book Bash.  We'd love to hear from you too!
