Customer Reviews

Udderly fabulous!

My son and I were hooked on this book from the first page! The characters are delightful, with the histrionic cow grumbling and throwing tearful fits in her quest to visit the moon, and the earnest owner trying creatively to help her out. The story is zany and funny (who knew cows could take a tour bus to Crater Lake?) and the words are delectably well-suited to giggly read-aloud sessions. The owner's cross-country trip with his cow is also educational for young readers. It includes a subtle geography lesson and an introduction to the wonders of museums...plus a nice example of true friendship.To top it off, Mark Teague's impressionistic illustrations are a marvel, and a perfect comedic counterpoint to the text. I recommend this book highly!

good moral

Good moral about compromise and wanting to get one's own way.Pictures, as usual, are great!Nice little story for children who've heard "the cow jumped over the moon".

No Moon, No Milk....

No Moon, No Milk i great book!! It captures your imagination right from the beginning and with every turn of the page it sticks with you. This story is about a cow who wont give any milk to Rob, until she goes to the moon. Rob and the Cow do some pretty crazy stunts to get there. This book is very interesting, it grabs your attention right away. I would recommend this to everyone. I enjoyed this book becuase of the crazy things the cow and Rob go through together in the story.Lynsi

Fun for all

This thoroughly delightful story of Martha's hilarious and entertaining "lunar" adventures will amuse all ages. My daughter has no difficulty getting either her father or me to read it over and over again.

Is the Grass Always Greener?

All Martha the Cow wants to do is visit the moon. After all, she comes from a bovine line who have become famous for their lunar exploits! Her adventures are amusing, and Mark Teague's illustrations make them absolutely hilarious! In the end, however, Martha arrives at that age-old conclusion: The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the galaxy!
