Cindy Moo

“Underneath its silliness, Mortensen’s (Come See the Earth Turn) energetic verse offers readers a can-do message about finding different ways of looking at a challenge. Mack’s (Mr. Duck Means Business) fuzzy cows have comically bulging eyes to observe all the action, and Cindy’s creamy brown-and-white spots, pink bow, and expressive poses set her apart as the star of the show.”

“As fresh as newly churned butter, this takeoff on “Hey Diddle Diddle” is mighty clever. ... Mortensen’s rhymes syncopate the silliness while Mack’s often in-your-face watercolors give the tale extra oomph with textured, fuzzy cowhides and exaggerated expressions. Mo(ooo)ve aside your other cow tales, because this lovable bovine really does take off.”

“Night-blue skies sparkle with stars, and luminous landscapes are home to Cindy Moo and her fluffy stuffed-animal-like herd. Both rhyme and pictures will appeal to toddlers and young preschoolers. Great for bedtime sharing.”
