High Five in the Sun...

Thanks to all who stopped by last weekend at the Vogt Art Fair in Tinley Park.  

Setting up!

High Five, the moose, did a great job greeting people and thanking them for their purchases.

Robert Mathius also interviewed many of the artists at the fair and his article will appear in the Tinley Junction on July 7th!

Celebrating Moose Style!

Last week was our Moo's birthday, and we couldn't let her special day go by without a MOOSE-tacular celebration!  We also thought it appropriate to make her our "MOOse of the Month" on our website!  

First, we sang Happy Birthday and took a picture with our Moo.  We swear she is looking more and more like us each year!

Then, we showered her with gifts!

The Mickey Moose watch is my favorite gift.  I helped our Pop pick it out.  It matches my outfit so well, but  I will be sure to let my Moo wear it too.

To learn more about our Moo and to see some other fun birthday pictures, click HERE on our website http://mooseatthemanger.tateauthor.com/moose-of-the-month/

Stay tuned for some upcoming book news!

Come Meet Jimmy and Mark

Jimmy was on cloud nine during Show and Tell when his classmates cheered for him and his best friend, Mark the Moose.  That happiness quickly ended when Mark went from being Jimmy's sidekick to becoming the missing moose.

Saddened and angry, Jimmy didn't want to talk to anyone, not even his own mother.  His best friend was gone and he was all alone!

When it was time for Show and Tell again, Jimmy didn't want any part of it until he heard what his friend Joe had to say...

Follow Jimmy as his discovers that opening up and letting others in can really help him out.

 Mark the Missing Moose will be released this summer!
