MaggieMoose: Encouragement & Raffle?

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

 "There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend."

Katherine Butler Hathaway  

Maggie, the pup with moose antlers, Polly porcupine, Charlie (5 years old), sister Livvy (7 years old), Flint, the feral cat, and Alfonso, the big alligator 

From: Book 3 MaggieMooseTracks® Wolf Pack (Amazon.com)

  Encouragement is a big word that Alfonso, the alligator likes. All of his forest friends cheer him on as he works out by doing his push ups. They all gave him fist pumps to encourage him to get active by doing his push ups. Oops, he ate too much on his vacation. No worries, it happens to everybody. Maggie thinks a little encouragement means B-I-G results of happiness! WOOF! WOOF! Friendship rocks!

MaggieMoose: Bee'ing Humble BUZZ BUZZ

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

 "Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."

John Wooden

  Maggie has had quite a year in 2013, authoring 3 books (I'm just her ghost writer-she's the real deal). One of the three books is translated into Japanese. Busy, busy, busy...buzzing around from flower to flower gathering her nectar of love to spin into her fictional creations. The root of this flowering growth of creativity is bee'ing humble. Maggie's grateful for her fans & friends around the world. We both thank you. One fan wrote a review for for Maggie's latest books: MaggieMooseTracks® Wolf Pack (Vol 3), but Amazon.com (where Maggie's books sell) wouldn't publish this review. Their reason "We cannot post your Customer Review for Maggie Moose Tracks to the Amazon website because your account activity indicates that you know the author personally." OMD (Oh My Dog), who doesn't Maggie know, she's read in over 87 countries around the world? We're posting the review here for Maggie's fans & friends to read on her website & blog. We think everyone would want to know what one other person's opinion is of Maggie's latest book. Thank you for following Maggie. We truly want to make a pawsitive difference in others' lives through her fictional tails.... And when you get a MaggieMooseTracks® book, would you please write a review? It's easy and very helpful for Maggie to get the word out that MOOSE SIZE PAWSABILITIES ARE PAWSABLE! Just don't say you know her! BOL (Bark Out Loud)

One fan's review of MaggieMooseTracks® Wolf Pack (Vol 3):

This is my favorite in the MaggieMooseTracks series. I loved the other 2 books, but love the fast pace, the interaction between the characters and the many messages that are in the writing. There is supporting friends, standing up to bullying, acceptance of those who are different and respect for animals in general. The illustrations are wonderful...like the other books, they are not computer generated and cheesy. They are really pretty and colorful and the characters are so likable.

I recommend any of the books in this series. No matter which book you start with, you will end up wanting them all. Charissa Wilson

MaggieMooseTracks: Wolf Pack Love

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs."

James Herriot

  When Maggie and I heard that wolves are in peril due to politics, not science, we decided to write our next fiction kids' book about the theme of prejudice against wolves. It's called: MaggieMooseTracks® Wolf Pack. Our book will be available mid-December 2013 and information will be posted on our website: www.MaggieMooseTracks.com. We mention two organizations in our book under Acknowledgments; "Defenders of Wildlife” and "My Pack Of Wolves Sanctuary". They are a small sampling of organizations trying to do their best to educate, and preserve these magnificent creatures. Kids & parents need to know that all wolves are beautiful animals with strong social bonds and important to the ecosystem. Once they’re gone-they’re gone. People must act now. The wolf issue is a delisting disaster in the making. Where's the science? Wolves are dependent on us to take care of their needs. We have the wolf pack love. Will you? WOOF WOOF

MaggieMooseTracks® Helps Boo Boo Feel Better!

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present."

Bill Keane

  When 19 month old Koa got a boo boo on his finger his dad knew where to take him. Off they rushed to his mom's Emergency Room where she was on duty as an Emergency Room doctor. Sometimes doctor moms need a little extra help for those hurting boo boos. Koa sat in his dad's lap fussing. His mom handed him the MaggieMooseTracks® Making Friends book. Suddenly, the magazine his parents tried to use to distract him was tossed to the side. Koa's little hand grabbed the book. A big smile appeared on Koa's face. He gently turned the pages. MaggieMooseTracks® Making Friends book is for the 6 up age group, but his underage of 19 months didn't stop Koa from liking Maggie's book!

I remember the days of taking Maggie's human siblings to the doctor for the same kind of emergency visits. I wish books like MaggieMooseTracks® Making Friends were available back then. I created the MaggieMooseTracks® books filled with bright and beautiful colored illustrations in a chapter book format, because kids love color! The hidden gems in the MaggieMooseTracks® books are the valuable life lessons for kids of character building, self esteem, and much more. Little did I know that when I created my books that they might help distract a cutie like Koa from his boo boo's pain. Maggie's books are like having a friend with you. Who doesn't like having a friend with them in their time of need? Koa was a trooper. After all, his name means "brave warrior". Maggie was happy to give him the gift of making his present time in the Emergency Room all better. WOOF WOOF little Koa friend!

MaggieMooseTracks®: Book Brothers WOOF WOOF

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

 "There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book."

Marcel Proust

  The two book brothers from Minnesota prove that looking good and feeling good is pawsable with Maggie's fictionalized adventures of Book 1 MaggieMooseTracks® Making Friends. The siblings show that the book also looks great on the head! WOOF WOOF! Maggie loves football, kids and of course her adventures too! We wonder what the boys will be up to when they get a hold of Maggie's Book 2 MaggieMooseTracks® Christmas Star which is selling on Amazon.com! Maybe MaggieMooseTracks® on top of a snowman? Next to a moose? Going down a ski slope? Maggie's imagination is getting carried away! Maggie thinks others' imagination will get carried away too when they read the MaggieMooseTracks® book series. If you would like a shout out with your photo and a MaggieMooseTracks® book then take a photo and send it in to: WOOF@MaggieMooseTracks.com. Maggie will give you a WOOF WOOF shout out like the two book brothers! There's nothing like a favorite book...or two....or three...

Book 3 MaggieMooseTracks® Wolf Pack will be out Jan. 2014!

MaggieMoose: Road Trip 101 Making Friends

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"Friends accept you the way you are."

Marilyn Monroe

  Maggie can't help herself from being her tongue wagging cute self. In life, Maggie's found her cuteness doesn't always win friendships, but her kindness does. Making friends in school might be like this for Bradley who recently started school. When Bradley and Maggie met on her road trip to southern CA it was love at first lick. Bradley was quite excited about Maggie's 1st book too; MaggieMooseTracks® Making Friends. 

What touched my heart was seeing both Bradley & Maggie as new friends. Sometimes it's hard to make new friends. Maggie knows all about this. I thought ahhh...seeing both Bradley & Maggie beaming with friendship. Maggie learned that friends accept you just the way you are, licks and all. By the way, licks from Maggie are kisses in her #MMTWorld. 

Best Friends Forever Bradley! WOOF WOOF

FYI Book 2 MaggieMooseTracks® Christmas Star is now for sale on Amazon.com! 

Book 3 MaggieMooseTracks® Wolf Pack is due out Jan. 2014....
