We absolutely adore the adventures of Sailor Moo. My favorite part is when the Jersey Shore is mentioned! Definitely will become part of our permanent collection!
This is a wild tale of a typical cow who dreams to be at sea instead of on a farm. One day she leaves, finds a boat full of cats, and asks if she can join their crew if she makes milk for them. They let her join until one day a storm pushes the boat all around. Sailor Moo is rocketed from the boat and thrown in the water. She swims a ways and comes up to another boat full of cows. They take her on board and she later finds out they are pirates, but she has feelings for the head bull pirate. This is an upbeat story that has rhymes throughout the entire book and would be great for younger children.
i love all of the positions and poses of the cows in this; cute and hilarious. The wardrobes are stylin'with a variety of unexpected outfits that you would never imagine seeing on a moo moo. In addition, the juxtaposes with the pirate cat is quite amusing.
"Yo~ho~ho And a shiver~me~be Moo finds romance out of sea!
I loved the illustrations and creativity of this book. I was enchanted by the fisherman cats, herd of pirate bulls and the bovine wedding. Animal lovers young and old will appreciate this book about a calf who is born on a fantasy farm pasture, but longs for the high seas.
It should be noted that the depiction of a dairy farm in this book is just as imaginary as the idea of a ship manned entirely by cats. The story and illustrations show calves nursing and spending all of their time with their mothers. On a real working dairy farm, this is not going to happen, as calves are removed from the cows shortly after birth.
I loved this book! The pirate language in this was just adorable. It is a good book to use as a read aloud, or to read before asking kids to write a creative story. The illustrations are fantastic and it is just all around a great book.
Great read! Done in a catchy poetic rhyme, this is the story of a cow that isn't content to stay on the farm, she wants to sail the seas. Read for my ECE class.
My kids read this over and over and over....they really enjoyed the animals and the love story (and they are 2 boys!)...kudos for great pics and a great storyline.
