Reviews

“An engaging, informative, often funny, wide-ranging look at moose.” — The StarPhoenix


“Of Moose and Men is at once informative and entertaining, the whole spectrum of a natural world filtered through a smart, quirky, caring man who knows that world better than any other human.” — Open Letters Monthly


“A charmingly unrestrained narrator presents chapter subtitles like ‘More matters moosey,’ offering a hodgepodge of information about the behemoth of the family Cervidae. From the historical to the biological, Haigh leaves no aspect of moose-bound lore uncovered.” — Publishers Weekly
