"The bear, the moose and the beaver want nothing more this winter than to play hockey-- there's just one problem: the frozen lake they play on won't freeze! With their ice rink looking more like a swimming pool, the trio head home and wait for the colder weather to arrive. To pass the time, they watch TV. They sleep. They eat junk food.

Sensing he's "missing out on something," the moose decides to "take life by the antlers" and sets sail in a boat that breaks apart in a storm. Stranded on a remote island, he not only summons survival skills-foraging for...

"There once was a bear, a moose and a beaver who loved to celebrate Christmas. One Christmas Eve, the three friends were so caught up with their holiday preparations that they forgot about the most important decoration of all: a tree! So they ran out to the forest to find the perfect sweet-smelling, soft-needled, just-the-right-size tree! But there was one problem: the bear, who loved all trees, wouldn't let his friends cut it down. How could they...
