review 1: I recently read this mad cow caper to a group of 30 kids who LOL-ed at all the right places! Milly is a cow. But she’s not your average cow. Milly is different. Little does she know that her unique ability will make her the envy of all the other cows on the farm. It’s hot on the farm, and all of the other cows enjoy basking in the sun. Milly, in her snow cap and boots, cannot give milk because she is too hot. She has one last chance to give milk before the farmer sends her away. The other cows taunt her because she is different. Then, a cold front comes, and Milly is successful beyond what she ever imagined! You’ll have to read the book to find out what Milly can do that make the other cows give her the cold shoulder. The creative word arrangement and clever drawing... mores give this book and extra element of fun.
review 2: I have never seen a sadder cow than poor, miserable Milly Moo. This book was so much fun to read (I gave everyone a strong, northern accent and Milly has operatic undertones to her voice!) and the surprising experience everyone has when Milly Moo finally reaches a comfortable temperature has everyone laughing (notice the mouse running off on the page after the farmer milks Milly). The preschoolers enjoyed repeating several fun words, including, "Diddly-squat!" A fun way to show that we can all be different...different isn't necessarily bad or good...just different! less
