When Moose gets a job on a building site, he finds whatever he wants to use - from shovel to comfy chair - belongs to Big Bad Barney Bear. This giant, but absent, labourer is so big and strong he only has to work one day a month. Moose is not impressed and is determined to put Barney in his place - once and for all. Bricks being lowered into position by a butterfly, a pelican wheelbarrow and a snake brick hod are just some of the visual delights in this crazy vintage Tony Ross tale.
