Read about Sterling, the silly moose, who loved cows. It was the time of disco and flower crowns. The heartbeat of the era reached Sterling, the 1,000 pound moose in his woodsy marsh in Canada.

His marsh stood by a dairy farm, which was lucky, as Sterling was obsessed with cows. He broke the farmer's fence, ran with them in the paddock, andmade new friends – he didn't want to leave! But the farmer wasn't so happy with Sterling... Would he find his way back to his beloved cows?

A tale of friendship and bravery despite the odds, this tale will make you laugh and may even bring a tear to your eye.
