Moose Crossing, by Stephanie Greene, 2005

When highway workers put a "Moose Crossing" sign up near Moose's house, notions of celebrity go to his head, so much so that he can't be bothered to swim with his best friend Hildy. But when moosewatching fans show up by the dozens, Moose gets to rethink his priorities. Suitable for 6-8 year old readers.
