Customer Reviews

Palatine with another great hit

My children (3 and 5) loved Margie Palatini's book "Moo Who?" so we decided to try out "Boo-Hoo Moo." They enjoy both books greatly and I am frequntly reading them to them, though they can recite the books almost verbatim. Palatini is great at introducing new vocabulary in a fun way that interest the children. They love hearing all the sound effects and enjoy hearing Margie herself read "Boo-Who Moo" at the harpercollins site.

Old McDonald meets American Idol!

Hilda the heifer has a problem...her moo's have turned to boo hoo's. The other barnyard dwellers think she's lonely and as her 'boo hoo moo's' get louder and more melancholy, they hatch a plan to rid her of her boo hoo blues. They hold auditions amongst themselves for a chance to sing with Hilda in the hopes that having a singing companion will lighten her mood - and maybe drown out her horrible singing voice! In true AI fashion, as contestants try to croon, warble, or squawk their way into a singing gig with Hilda, they get feedback from a hen, goose, and pig who are obvious spoofs of their TV counterparts. What will Hilda's reaction be as her fellow farm critters reveal their intentions? Moo, honk, and bow-wow your way through the book to find out. I am always on the lookout for fun, entertaining books that will appeal to both of my girls, aged 2 and 8. Boo-Hoo Moo is certainly one that hits the mark. With more animal sounds than you can count, and page upon page of bright, colorful barnyard scenes filled with quirky looking animals, I'm sure this book will be read dozens of times at my house. As an added bonus, [...] has a link where Margie herself reads the book. Be sure to check it out - my girls thought it was hilarious!
