I rather enjoyed this very silly book, probably more than my son did. With rhyming text, we find a girl is sitting in the backyard who says that if “a moose ever says moo then she will decide to create her own zoo, which would include sharks reading books.” There are singing tap-dancing pigs, an all-duck jazz band, a goose serving juice, and tigers lazing in trees and making macaroni and cheese. Then the animals start causing mayhem and things start getting out of control, and she must step in to save everyone. Recommended for ages 3-6, 4 stars. An imaginary tale of a young girl who loves reading and wants to create her own zoo right in her back yard. Text of one or two lines on each page with illustrations covering the rest of the page. The illustrations are amusing and students find them to be a lot of fun. She includes bears that drive cars and sharks that draw squiggly lines with crayons.The young girl discovers that her animals would not really work so she discards this idea for ever, at least until next time!
What do You think about A Moose That Says Moo (2013)?
Rhymes and action reminiscent of Dr. Seuss' If I Ran The Zoo. Lotsa good fun to be had.
