Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
All the animals are running scared when a thunderstorm strikes the barnyard in Denys Cazet's Minnie and Moo Meet Frankenswine. The two courageous cows unmask the mystery of a reputed monster on the premises. This seventh book about Minnie and Moo, a series formerly published by DK Ink, joins the I Can Read books series.

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-2-Two books sure to please the never-ending requests for Halloween stories. In Frankenswine, Minnie and Moo solve a mystery about a monster in the barn that is terrifying the animals. Rumors abound, resulting in moments of humor, such as the farmyard denizens thinking that a branch is the farmer's leg. Cazet's softly colored illustrations of the fearful animals and the brave bovines add to the appeal. In Grandmas Trick-or-Treat, Pip is once again stuck in the middle between her totally different grandmothers. One thinks Halloween is great fun; the other thinks it brings out the worst in people. In the end, the two women work together to teach some bullies a lesson and find that the festivities can bring out the best in people. McCully's art, done predominately in the rusts and golds of autumn, highlights the children's activities, but it's really the grannies who steal the show here. Both books have easy-to-read texts and large print.

Huge hit at our house!,
This review is from: Minnie and Moo Meet Frankenswine (I Can Read Book 3) (Paperback)
We have read other Minnie and Moo books, but this one is the best so far - we laugh so hard every time we read it! We borrowed it from the library for our 5-year old daughter and every night for a week, it has been the first book we read and the last book we read every night. Highly recommended from our household!

Minnie and Moo Rock!,

This review is from: Minnie and Moo Meet Frankenswine (I Can Read Book 3) (Paperback)
Parents and kids alike will love the humor in the Minnie and Moo series. This one in particular is full of scary antics -- but not TOO scary. For instance, readers will know right away that the "farmer's leg" is a branch off the old apple tree -- but it's fun to see them all worry about it.
Entertaining, humorous, and easy to read. Great combo!
