review 1: This brilliantly funny book is relate-able to many children, they say they are not scared of anything, but inside feel a little nervous. This book shows that you can believe in yourself and overcome your fears. When Nadine the cow is asked to prove her fearlessness, she ventures into the dark woods, she finds herself not scared and boasting to her friends! But when her cow friends ask her to take them at night, Nadine is faced with a challenge! Activity: Ask students what they are afraid of, it can be anything, have them draw a picture of this thing, and have them think of how they can overcome their fear. OR when was a time you were faced with a challenge or a fear, how did you overcome it? How did you feel afterward? Esbaum, J., & Gordon, G. (2014). I am cow, hear me moo... more!

review 2: Does anyone else see this title and want to sing like Helen Reddy?Nadine loves to brag to her two bovine friends that nothing scares her. When they call her on her bluff, all three explore the forest. I think younger ones will enjoy Nadine's bravado-to-excitement-to-fear-to-bravado story. I liked the solid rhyme but didn't love the voice. Esbaum puts in little narrator comments like, "Um, no" and "She worried, the bear's gonna get me!(As if.)"It is a strong voice, though, and could work in a writing lesson. less

Cute story about a cow who proves she is not afraid of anything, or so she thinks.

I wasn't really impressed with this one, and I felt the rhyming scheme was forced.

Fun rhyming story with lively illustrations. Didn't care for the ending though.
