Moo: A Novel

The voice in this story pulls you in from the first page. When Reena's family moves from the city to the country, she learns a whole new way of life. Cows, pigs, and that sneaky, Mrs. Falala. A sweet tale of interesting people.

I thought that this book was good for many reasons. Dirt if all the author did a great job of illustrating the places the characters went. I liked this because it made me able to better create pictures even iMovies in my mind. The second reason I liked this book was because it was so unique. The characters were so different and unique in their own way. The last reason why I liked this book was that I loved to see the characters develop relationships with other characters. My favorite example was the relationship between Luke and Mrs. Falala. I loved how their relation ship grew and grew throughout the story. However I thought that the story was missing some things. I thought that the first thing that was missing was a second book. I think and other readers probably want to know what happens to Reena and Luke after Mrs. Falala passes away. Will they meet new people? Will Reena form a new relationship with and Beet? I thought that overall Moo is an amazing book for children to read. 10/10

What a delightful little book is MOO! What a wonderful, loving,poignant, and poetic writer is Sharon Creech!I'm going to resist all of the MOO words, and say that I simply loved the book. This is a book that begs to be read aloud on someone's sofa with a child on each side. Please read it slooowwly and savor each page. By all means discuss the beauty of each precious page.I finished this must-read book 3 days ago, and I couldn't write anything until now!I am amazed at the talent of Sharon Creech from Love That Dog, and Hate That Cat to this rare jewel...MOO! Wow!Sharon, I am an even bigger fan than I always have been. The way you have artistically placed the word on the page practically tells me How to read this book. Congratulations! You have just won the McKenna Award this year! I know, it's not as prestigious as the others, but this is heartfelt, and you know all about awards. Thank you for all of your writing. It keeps me working and reading. If you keep writing..I'll keep reading!! I LOVE MOO!

I gave this book to my granddaughter for her birthday and she was so glad that I did. She loves to read books that are written in verse. The book was in excellent condition whe.n it arrived.

I must admit I have not read this book. My local library sent an email announcement about this book as something my 8 year old son might enjoy. I put a copy on hold and got one of the first copies to arrive. To say my son loved this book is putting it lightly. While he is a regular reader, this book lit a fire in him. He loved that he finished a "thick chapter book" and attributes his success (and willingness to even try to read such a "thick" book) to the short chapters. He said he hates stopping in the middle of a chapter and felt a great sense of accomplishment when he could finish a chapter-or two or three-in a sitting. He could not wait to read it after school, before bed, in the car. This book really kept him captivated.He like it so much he begged me to buy the book, which I did....He'll find out Christmas morning.

Enjoyed the reading this book. It was my granddaughter’s 3rd grade assignment. Especially liked the different format styles on the pages.

It’s so easy to read. Mrs. Falala is a character that you grow to love-but start out being annoyed by her. Sharon Creech uses the print size, direction and thickness of the letters as a strategy to make the writing transform into symbolism. This is a family and community that you secretly are rooting for inside. You want the kids to learn and grow, Zara the cow to stop being lonely and rowdy, Mrs. Falala to show compassion, and the parents to succeed. It’s a lovely story.

Purchased book for a school project.

This book made me happy. Just the innocence of the kids, the sillyness of the cows, and the serious morals. It was funny and adorable and perfect for my plane ride home! Highly recommend if you want something quick and easy but a tad silly!
