review 1: Moo by David LaRochelle illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka, is about a cow who always says one word goes on a wild adventure. When the cow sees a car for sale he decides to ride it when he sees a sign he screams MOO! Stay tuned and see what happens next. I love how the author used one word throughout the book. Each illustration was well design and placed in the appropriate place in the page. Some illustrations were a full page with text on the other side but no white space was used. Colors such as blue, green, yellows and other colors were used. I really enjoyed reading the book, it was fun and easy children will enjoy. Personal experience with the book, when I was reading it with my little brother he would scream MOO when the sentence had an exclamation point. Another feature ... moreI liked about the book, children can be creative when reading it. A great idea for a read aloud would be having students have personal connections with the book or have them draw and color their favorite part of the book. Activities such as the ones listed will help them stay connected with the book. I would highly recommend the book to younger readers as well as moms. Overall, children will have no trouble reading the book by themselves. The plot is easy to understand, children they may want to make up their own story and share with their friends.
review 2: LaRochelle, D. (2013). Moo! New York: Walker Books for Young Readers.School Library Journal, 20013ChoiceMoo! is a comical picture book that takes you on a bit of a wild joyride with an adventurous cow. This joyride inevitably ends in disaster, and the cow is forced to tell his owner about the event. The catch of the book is that it is written in only Moos and punctuation. However, I read this book out loud to a 16-month old, and even she knew what was going on. There is artistry in conveying emotion and story-telling language through moos, and this book is proof of that. The illustrations can't help but tell the story - they are the lines for the moos, and the scenery for the cow's great adventure. They work together with the simple words to tell the reader what is going on, and create anticipation for what will happen. This book could be used in a PreK-2 grade class to work on story telling, story comprehension, and identifying expressions/punctuation (for the higher grades). less
