“Every moose in my herd always seemed to say, ‘That Lenny Moosecawitz should get out of the way.’ As a full-grown moose who’s strong as an ox, I’ll prove to those others that I can be tops.” Poor Lenny Moosecawitz just doesn’t fit in. When he’s kicked out of his herd, he sets off on a long, brave adventure. His plan? To go to the North Pole and pull Santa’s sleigh! Along the way, Lenny meets a colourful cast of characters: an elf named Too Short who has been kicked out of the toy shop, a pretty and smart reindeer with a little crush, and the big man—Santa himself! By trusting each other and making friends, Lenny learns that if you keep a positive outlook, ignore the naysayers, and stay on task, you achieve everything you dream of. Lenny Moosecawitz—A Christmas Tale is a delightful, funny rhyming story about the magic of Christmas, the power of friendship, and the strength we find when we can accept others for who they are inside.
