Released: Aug. 6, 1979

Morris the moose puts himself to sleep—or to sheep, as friend Boris has it after a verbal runaround with Little Bo-Peep—but the Mother Moose bedtime stories elicit only protests and corrections from Boris the bear. Morris' tale of the four bears—Papa, Mama, Baby, and Boris—is abandoned shortly after Goldi-locks' arrival; and what with Boris' reminders that a moose can't run up the clock or lay a golden egg, none of the other stories get off the ground. Unlike previous Morris and Boris exchanges, this one revolves less on Boris' failure to catch on than on Morris' failure to amuse him with his feeble word play.

Released: Feb. 28, 1950

A second novel (They Never Had It So Good) which is much less of a roughhouse and contributes some intramural insights and defeated conclusions on a university campus where younger ideals jar against vested interests.

An object lesson in the destruction of values by expedient pressures, this makes its point, which is not a new one. Read full book review >
