review 1: The story begins when Cindy Moo, a cow on the Diddle farm overhears Mom Diddle reading the classic Nursery Rhyme, "Hey, Diddle, Diddle!" and decides that if THAT cow could jump over the moon, well she could as well. While the other cows laugh and tease her, especially when her first attempts fail, Cindy is determined to succeed. With rhyming text and delightful illustrations - and a little help from a rain puddle - Cindy does manage to jump over the moon. Truly a fun read aloud about achieving a seemingly impossible dream.
review 2: I chose Cindy Moo because of the cover. Just looking at the bright colors on the cover makes you smile. This book is about a cow, Cindy, who overheard a story about a cow jumping over a moon. Cindy believed that if one cow could ... morejump over the moon, so could she. The other cows didn't believe she could, but Cindy tried anyways. The first two attempts were failures, but Cindy did not give up. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I won't tell you the end. I would use this book as a read aloud for newborns to first grade. I believe a second grader would be able to read this book alone.I believe this book should win the Caldecott award. The visual experience in this book is outstanding. The children can visualize Cindy peeking around a corner and listening to the story being told about a cow jumping over the moon. You can also see Cindy trying to jump the moon. The pictures and words just go so well together. This book also has the concept of never giving up. Even though the cows have never seen another cow jump over the moon, that doesn't mean they can't do it. When they tried and failed, they didn't give up. I also believe that this book shows respect for the children and the story is very understanding. less
