Cute and sometimes funny, sweet and sentimental. Moo was a quick read and fun, but it was also pretty predictable.

Sharon Creech has a wonderful way of writing about animals and the people in their orbit. The primary animal in Moo is, of course, cows. When a city girl (Reena) and her family relocate to a small town in Maine, she gets a crash course in farm animals. Her mom volunteers their services to a neighbor and they are soon learning about show cows and taking care of them. This novel has a delightful sense of place and I loved reading the author's lyrical prose. You definitely need to read this one in print form to enjoy Creech's way with words.

This is a very sweet and sentimental novel. It transported me back to childhood when I spent many days riding and taking care of horses. I loved the relationship between twelve-year-old Reena and her little brother. I appreciated the message that when we are kind and giving toward others, we are also benefiting ourselves and growing as individuals. It is a sentiment we could all learn from.

The book Moo was happy and then sad.📖
This is a great book for all ages. 📖

I Love This Book!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

I thoroughly enjoyed the audio version of this story. Now I'll look for the book to see how it is organized on paper. This title will be a great suggestion for readers who love animals.

A lighthearted story that makes you want to leave the city and move to a little community near the Ocean. Moo is a sweet story about finding friendships in the most unexpected places.

The ending did not work for me, the sad part or the wrapped-up-in-a-bow part. Too bad a city girl taking an ornery cow to the fair wasn't considered dramatic enough to lead to a different denouement.

A novel in verse. A fish out of water story about 2 city kids who move to rural Maine seemingly on a whim and are forced to volunteer on a farm for an eccentric neighbor.

It's cute. It just seemed pretty predictable to me and lacked the charm of some of Creech's other books.

yay for this book i did it for a novel study at school and it worked perfectly woo hoo i <3 this book

i also <3 sharks

I've enjoyed every book I've read by Sharon Creech! This one was about a brother and sister, Luke and Reena, who befriend a cranky old lady and start caring for her animals, including a stubborn cow named Zora. Reena, born and raised in NYC doesn't consider herself outdoorey and certainly doesn't know how to care for a cow. This novel in verse tells the story of Reena and Zora. Well worth the read.
