Mooseltoe Tapa dura - 2000

Margie Palatini (www.margiepalatini.com) knows her cop shows --and her children's books. She has written numerous picture books, including Moosetache and Mooseltoe, illustrated by Henry Cole, and Zoom Broom and Piggie Pie, both illustrated by Howard Fine.
Henry Cole (www.henrycole.net) grew up on a dairy farm outside Purcellville, Virginia. Always interested in art and science, he studied forestry at Virginia Tech. He is a self-taught artist, although his mother was a professional illustrator and gave him many pointers along the way. His education required him to study nature closely, and his observation of such details helped him with his drawing. Henry worked in a number of jobs, including magazine illustration, and for sixteen years taught elementary grade science classes before he became a full-time illustrator. He now has dozens of picture books to his credit, including many he wrote and illustrated.
