Letters from Moose Rump

About the Book

Barbara Morgan is a talented writer who has an excellent sense of humor. She has the ability to write to the interest of both children and adults. These talents are brought out in this compilation of stories cast in letter format about critters and things found at Moose Rump Ranch. In these story letters, Barbara demonstrates the ability to give personality and humorous behavior patterns to “critters and things” in fictional form. These letter-stories were tested on Barbara’s sixteen grandchildren and a host of neighbors and friends. To her delight, to a great extent, the story-letters were found of interest to adults, especially parents. These story-letters are presented with cartoon characters that will pique the interest of readers and make them eager to turn the pages and read about the characters that are included. Beth Guske

About the Author

Reading Letters from Moose Rump will take readers back to the innocent days of childhood, when we secretly believed or at least hoped that farm animals would talk to each other when we weren’t around. By recounting stories of temptation, mischief, and bravery through the antics of adorable barnyard animals and inanimate things, author Barbara Morgan is able to convey important messages about how to live and to treat one another well. Each letter contains a carefully crafted and discreetly conveyed moral, but without being overly preachy, and each story is filled with the love of a grandmother for her grandchildren. This is a really priceless collection that is a joy to read. Carole J. Kitamura, Ed. MA
