School Library Journal Review

Gr 1-2-Minnie and Moo, those cream-puff eating cows, are back with another misadventure. The turkeys are nervous on Thanksgiving morning, and the cows send them to hide in a tall oak tree. Next, the chickens worry about what will happen if the farmer can't find the turkeys, and so on and on until all of the farm's livestock are hiding among its branches. The animals needn't worry, though, for Mrs. Farmer has prepared a tofu loaf in the shape of a turkey, and the family and their guests settle down for a Thanksgiving picnic beneath this tree. Newly independent readers will appreciate the large print, four or five sentences per page, and four-page "chapters." As in Cazet's earlier titles about this bovine pair, silliness reigns supreme in the illustrations and in the far-fetched plot.-Sharon R. Pearce, Geronimo Public School, OK (c) Copyright 2010.
