I’m so excited! I got to have an awesome superlibrarian moment today thanks to Brice, who sent us this inquiry:

I was looking over your sight for a Halloween book I had as a kid (early 1970’s) but I can’t remember the name and was wondering (with your knowledge of kids Halloween books) if you might know the book. This is an illustrated book of 2 animal friends who dress up in costumes to go trick or treating. I think one of them was a moose. My sister and I had this hardback book about 1974 or 1975 I believe and have both been searching for it but without the title it’s difficult. She swears the story was about 2 monsters who dress up as other monsters but I think they were animals. Regardless, if you have any ideas I would appreciate. Or if you have some search ideas that will help too

Waay back in some creaky corner of my brain a barely-remembered Morris the Moose poked his head out. Did Morris have a Halloween story? I couldn’t remember. But I could find out…

It turns out that Morris does have a Halloween story, Halloween with Morris and Boris, by Bernard Wiseman, published in hardcover in 1975. It’s out of print, but if you want it, it’s possible to find it used.

When I told Brice I’d found the book, it sounded like I’d made his day… Brice, you made my day, too.
