Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3--Minnie and Moo are in top form in their latest wacky, easy-to-read adventure. This time, Minnie overhears the farmer telling Mrs. Farmer that he is too old to be the Easter Bunny. Since all of the grandchildren are expecting an egg hunt, the cows try to find a substitute. After all of the other barnyard animals turn them down, Minnie and Moo take matters into their own hooves. All ends happily, of course, with a zany Easter Parade. Cazet's springlike pastels and comically cartoony figures illuminate the fun goings-on, but it's the silly dialogue that carries the day. Cazet's lovably offbeat characters follow in the "hoof" steps of Bernard Wiseman's Morris the Moose and James Marshall's Fox.--Marilyn Taniguchi, Beverly Hills Public Library, CA

From Booklist

K-Gr. 2. After overhearing the farmer tell his wife that he is "too old to be the Easter Bunny" for their grandchildren, Minnie and Moo try to convince the rooster, the pigs, the sheep, and the turkeys to take on the job. When all else fails, the loyal cows don enormous pink and yellow bunny suits, only to find that a remarkable menagerie of volunteers have answered the call. In the accompanying artwork, drawings brightened with springlike pastel washes ably express the characters' emotions as well as their actions. Challenging the notion that books for beginning readers are bland, this entry in the Minnie and Moo series provides a story and illustrations that are not only witty but occasionally laugh-out-loud funny. A treat for independent readers, who will request previous Minnie and Moo books, and a great read-aloud for preschoolers at Easter. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars TOO FUNNY...., June 5, 2004

This review is from: Minnie and Moo: The Attack of the Easter Bunnies (I Can Read Book 3) (Hardcover)

When Minnie tells Moo that the farmer says he's too old to be the Easter Bunny this year, Moo panics and looks for an Easter Bunny replacement. She asks Elvis the grumpy rooster and some of the other farm animals. In the end, Moo tries solving the problem herself, and gets an Easter surprise of her own. It's a fun trek across the farm as Minnie and Moo plead and plan to give the farmer's grandchildren a traditional Easter.

Minnie, Moo and the rest of the farm animals are amusing and adorable. The illustrations are charming and colorful. Parents looking for a light, enjoyable moment of reading with their kids should try any of the eleven Minnie and Moo books.

The Attack of the Easter Bunnies is a part of the "I Can Read Book" series, a wonderful line of books created to introduce children to the joy of reading.

This review is from: Minnie and Moo: The Attack of the Easter Bunnies (I Can Read Book 3) (Paperback)

I wish I could give it -100 stars. This is the worst book ever! You shouldn't waste your money on it. You have to be a baby if you read Minnie and Moo. I'm a third grader and I thought it was too boring for me. Maybe a first grader would like it.
