Meet Chocolate, a moose born in the wild who, as a young calf, tragically loses his mother.  He is rescued and cared for at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo facility for injured and orphaned animals. When he grows too big and unruly for a pen, his caretakers don’t know what to do. He’s too tame to return to the wilderness.

Then they hear of a new wildlife park, called Northwest Trek, with a large free-roaming area with meadows, a lake, and woodlands — the perfect home.  The park’s kindly founders help Chocolate adapt to his new environment, where he’s joined by a rescued female and calf. Now an awesome bull moose, Chocolate becomes the park’s most celebrated animal.

This special story, brought to life in gorgeous watercolor illustrations, also includes fun facts about moose and the story of an innovative wildlife park.
