Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS?On each two-page spread, a different animal engages in a standard activity. The rhyming text uses the creature's sound and describes its actions: a cow is shown kicking a bucket of milk ("cow moo me/cow moo you/cow moo milk/cow moo moo"), a chicken smiles at a new hatchling, a pig plays in the mud, a bee investigates some flowers, and so forth. The bright watercolor-and-collage illustrations are eye-catching and echo the silliness of the verses. A fine choice for lap-sits or toddler storytimes.?Marsha McGrath, Clearwater Public Library, FL

This book cracks my 10 month old son up like no other book! The rhythmic words and funny faces of the animals in the illustrations really make him laugh out loud - and he wants me to read it over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect first book!!, October 15, 1999

This review is from: Cow Moo Me (Harper Growing Tree) (Board book)

This rhythmic tale is a great first for babies and young toddlers. Its sing song verse flows very smoothly for young ears, and it even teaches animals and their noises. This book is a very favorite of my son's.

My wife borrowed this book from the library, since my son loves books. Cow moo me was an instant hit. When I ask him to pick a book from a pile, he chooses cow moo me. The artwork is simple and vibrant and the text is rhythmic. I plan on buying this book for our collection.
