Reviews
Moo<p> Matthew Van Fleet, photos by Brian Stanton. S&S/Wiseman, $16.99 (18p) ISBN 978-1-4424-3503-2 <p><p> Using a formula similar to its predecessors, Cat and Dog, Van Fleet's interactive board book identifies farm animals using simple, playful rhymes: Mommy cow, / Baby calf, / Shaggy daddy bull./ Moo cow, / Milk the cow--/ grab the udder, pull! (The farmer's hands milk the cow at the pull of a tab, while a cat turns its mouth toward the spraying milk.) Textures--a woolly sheep, a duck's downy chest feathers--provide a touch-and-feel aspect, while flaps and pop-ups make this a playful excursion. Ages 2-up.<p><p>-- Publishers Weekly , July 18, 2011
This multipurpose book follows the same format as the creators' Dog (2007) and Cat (2009), expanding the concept to include various farm animals like sheep, chicken, pigs, and horses. Crisp animal photos are arrayed against a white background, and the spreads feature different interactive elements from fuzzy touch patches to spring-loaded tabs that put the critters in motion, to flaps that reveal simple pop-ups. The text offers rhythmic morsels of information, such as the goat page that reads, Mommy nanny, / Daddy billy, / Little kids butt. A hefty and handsome barnyard book. -- Booklist
