Product Description
Book Description
Mother Moose Tales? The creation myth of Mother Moose? The Big Bad Pig? Rumbleshirtskin? Handsome and Gristle?
From AudioFile
These stories, described as "fractured fairy tales," include "Cinderella and the Three Bears," "Handsome and Gristle," and "Rumbleshirtskin," among others. Such titles accurately suggest the liberties that Claflin takes while telling his "Mother Moose tales" in the voice of his moose puppet. You should also know that Claflin sounds like Bullwinkle with a lisp and that he makes up words like "uglified" and fools with grammar, especially pronouns ("her was so mad"). Also, the production is taped with a live audience of maybe five or six chortling, laughing, and clapping adults who appear to be his friends. Though the packaging boasts that it is an "excellent choice for car trips," not all adults will agree. That said, some young children may fall in love with all the silliness and want to hear Claflin's CD over and over in order to perfect their Maynard Moose imitations.

Willy Claflin is wonderful! Fun! Fun! Fun!!,
By Reeva's Mom "msreeva" (Louisiana USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maynard Moose Tales (Audio CD)
I saw Willy Claflin with Maynard Moose at The National Storytelling Festival and fell in love. Storytelling at it's most fun. I have all his CD's and every one is an absolute gem. The stories will delight kids of all ages. I've listened to his stories with kids from 2-50 years old and everybody leaves with something to remember.

Childhood Favorite,
By Elfbrick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Maynard Moose Tales (Audio CD)
I saw Willy Claflin perform live several times when I was a child and got all his (then) cassettes for Christmas presents over the years. I loved Maynard and Rocky and all their songs and stories. To this day, many years later, I still chuckle when I think of Maynard's ridiculously mixed up fairy tales. Cinderella and the Three Bears is delightful and speaks to the silliness in all of us.
