Mudgy & Millie Moose Trail

  • Mudgy Moose and his playmate Millie Mouse are two fun-loving characters found in the new children's book, "Mudgy & MillieTM". They are best friends and they love to play hide-and-seek. But this time, Mudgy can't find Millie anywhere. With the help of best-selling author and Coeur d'Alene resident Susan Nipp and drawings by Charles Reasoner, Mudgy and Millie will soon be together again. The hide-and-seek game played in the book will happen in the real world as a public art project – The Mudgy Moose Trail, which includes five bronze moose created by local artist Terry Lee. ©Copyright 2008 and TM by Susan Hagen Nipp and Charles Reasoner.
