Celebrity Review
Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose
 Freddie
Prinze, Jr.
Actor
Dr. Seuss books provide us not only with vivid, imaginative
worlds in which anything can, and usually does, happen,
but with lessons, reminding us of the obstacles we may
face in life and ways in which to handle them. Thidwick
the Big-Hearted Moose carries on this tradition by sharing
a story that relays a simple, yet important message
– be giving to others, but beware of those people,
or creatures, who will try to take advantage of your
kindness.
Thidwick’s troubles begin when he grants a Bingle
Bug’s wish to hitch a ride on Thidwick’s
massive antlers. Upon seeing the comfortable spot the
Bingle Bug has found for himself, other animals begin
to take up residence on Thidwick’s antlers. Thidwick’s
generosity is tested by these uninvited guests, but,
striving to be a gracious host, he never turns a single
creature away – not even “a swarm of three
hundred and sixty-two bees!” Although quite pleasant
for the inhabitants of Thidwick’s antlers, the
situation proves to be anything but ideal for Thidwick
himself. Luckily for this kind moose, his antlers fell
off, along with his guests, so new ones could grow.
This tale serves as a reminder to all readers that while
we should always try to help others, we must always
remember to be kind to ourselves as well.
