One her best book yet.
Rating: 5A delightful novel-in-verse about two city kids moving to Maine, expectations, judging others too quickly, and appreciating people for their unique contributions. Told in "Creechingly sweet" style, of course!
Rating: 4MOO is a great tale, with a lot of fun poetry, of a family's move from the city to rural Maine.Animal and friendships abound around a cantankerous old woman who they come to care for.What I wish was not in the book: 1. unquestioning cruelty of stretching the heifers necks to make them presentable to human judges2. the father's unthinking comment about eating his kids - when the kids see Goya's SATURN DEVOURING HIS CHILDREN, they will be horrified to remember his words
Rating: 4When 12-year old Reena moves with her family from NYC to Maine, she has to make some major adjustments -- new friends, life at a slower pace, and trying to understand that Maine drawl! But she learns her biggest lessons from Zora, an ornery and cantankerous cow, who teaches Reena the power of community, friendship, and family. Uplifting and powerful!
Rating: 4Reena and Luke go with the flow when their parents announce a sudden move to Maine. It's a big change from city life, and bigger still when their folks volunteer them to help Mrs. Falala on her farm. They work with Zora. The embrace country life and over time learn to deal with Mrs. Falala - Luke gets to know her more than Reena through their art. A sweet, quick read.
Rating: 4Can a gruff old woman and an ornery cow help the new kids in a new town? Mrs. Falala and Zora just might, if Reena and Luke give them a chance. In verse-like chapters with lots of widely spaced lettering, Newbery winner Sharon Creech immerses readers in the sights, sounds and especially the smells of a coastal Maine town and its cast of eccentric characters: two-legged, four-legged and winged. Though short, this book packs in many themes, including friendship, showmanship, work ethics, responsibility and privacy.

I really enjoyed reading this book with my son. The characters were written in a way that I felt that I knew them, they were my neighbors, the family next door. Being from Maine and not have been "home" in years, this book makes me want to go back to Maine and visit small farms and coastal towns. Drive the back roads and look for the livestock grazing in pastures along the sides of the road. Maybe a goal for a road trip very soon.

MOO is a tale about an ornery cow. Well, not really. It’s more about how we perceive people, how we treat those we do not know much about. It is a story of growth, love, kindness, and more. Author, Sharon Creech, writes a character who puts up such a strong emotional barrier, but not strong enough for the family that decides to show the little old woman a little kindness. And they do not give up on her. Written in such a poetic way, MOO will stick with you long after you place it back on the shelf.
