This book doesn't read as easily as Dog and Cat because they use a lot of big vocabulary words -- ewe, drake, nanny...all of the male-female animal names. I think this is a bigger issue for me and my husband because my daughter LOVES this book. I had to hide it so I could take a break. It has great pictures, it's cute, and it covers all the basic farm animals. My daughter is only 1 1/2 so I suspect the vocab words will be a good thing when she's a little older.
'MOO' is a beautifully crafted and delightful book that babies,children and adults will read over and over again. It is very well designed, with things to feel, touch and pull, making for giggles on every page. It is very user friendly, and will hold up well for even the roughest reader.
This delightful romp through the barnyard is full of fantastic photography, enjoyable rhythmic text, and fun interactive elements. It's captivated my 14 month old son, who spent a full 20 minutes flipping through it the first time I gave it to him.All the pictures in this book are actual photographs (definitely a plus for toddlers as they learn how to define the world around them), and the photography is much more cleverly executed than in most children's books. The book is also an elongated and chunky size that's fun for kids to carry around. The text uses precise terms for the various animals (such as nanny, billy, and kids for goats) and has a nice rhythm that works well for reading aloud.What makes this book such a winner is the way children can interact with it: textures to touch, flaps to lift, pictures that pop up, pull-tabs that cause the picture to move. My personal favorite is the pull tab that allows you to "milk the cow" and even to squirt a jet of milk into the mouth of the cat if you pull hard enough. My son's favorite is the rubber ducky that squeaks.
My children (ages 2 and 4) and I love this book - we love all of the Van Fleet books, definitely worth it, hours of reading fun!! There have been some improvements that make it harder for children to tear the book up too!
Moo was a cute book, but I was looking for something as spectacular and as charming as his book, "DOG." My daughter LOVES the DOG book and wants to read it every night. I do think MOO is a bit more durable than DOG and doesn't have as many pieces that little ones could tear.Cute book, but not exactly what I as expecting.
Like the other Matthew Van Fleet books, this one is already a favorite of our 16 month old granddaughter! She is into "mooing", "hooting", and woof-woof-ing" now so she is fascinated with the other sounds we make for the other animals. The push/pull tabs are also strong enough for her to do herself which she loves! I love the milking cow and the cat that get a taste. Our friend lives on a small farm and had me get this for her, too, so she can begin as early as possible with her 3 month old grandson. The realistic pictures give children a true picture of each of the animals! I am a Matthew Van Fleet FAN!!!!
These series of books are GREAT! My son loves them! We were given CAT as a gift and then bought DOG and MOO because he liked them so much. DOG and CAT are slightly better in my opinion and my son's preference goes DOG, CAT then MOO.
This is the third book my daughter has from this author. At 2 years old she really enjoys books that have interactive features like things to feel, or tabs to pull. What I like about this book is that the vocabulary is great. It's not just "pig" or "horse" but more sophisticated words like mare and sow. While these books are on the pricier side, I would recommend them to friends and will likely purchase one or two more.
