Thanks Katelyn and Abby! I’ll share these with my colleague and let you know which one is “the one”.

Avoid unknown links and attachments. Well, that’s definitely a better option than the “cover with a boy on grass looking at a coin” than anything I found! However, in terms of “a moose head with magical powers and brings things to life,” the closest option I found was “The Marvelous Land of Oz” (also called “The Land of Oz”) by L. Frank Baum, which is the sequel to “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” In the story, there is a head of an elk-like creature called the Gump, which is mounted on a plaque and is brought back to life by the Powder of Life. In the movie version, it does look rather moose-like. The Powder of Life is also utilized on multiple other items throughout the story to bring them to life, including Jack Pumpkinhead.
