Honk the Moose is a 1935 children's book written by Phil Stong and illustrated by Kurt Wiese. Based on a true story from the Finnish-settled Biwabik, Minnesota,[1][2] it tells the story of a moose who wanders into a small town, causing an uproar when three young boys try to save the moose so it can survive the Minnesota winter.[3] The book was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1936[4] and in 1970 it won a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award[5]
