Moo! - by David Larochelle

About the Book

Book Synopsis

This utterly clever and fun story is the perfect read aloud!

When Cow gets her hooves on the farmer's car, she takes it for a wild ride through the country. Moooo! But a bump in the road brings this joy ride to a troublesome end. Moo-moo. . . . Has Cow learned her lesson about living life in the fast lane? Moo?

The Geisel Award winning creators tell a complete story with just one word--MOO--in this imaginative story that will have readers laughing one moment and on the edge of their seats the next, as it captures the highs and lows of a mischievous cow's very exciting day.

Review Quotes

"This book is bold, original, and funny, and should be part of every picture-book collection." --School Library Journal, starred review

"An utterly fun moo-aloud." --Publishers Weekly

"Good barnyard fun, with nods to Mo Willems' aspirational Pigeon and Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin's enterprising Duck." --Kirkus Reviews

"A delightful visual adventure, easy to pair with Nancy E. Shaw and Margot Apple's Sheep in a Jeep (1988) and open to many sessions of independent rereading." --Booklist
