Dooby Dooby Moo!
Kindergarten-Grade 3
When Duck discovers an ad in the paper announcing a talent
show at the county fair (first prize, a slightly used trampoline), Farmer
Brown's animals are unstoppable. The cows and sheep concentrate on their singing
while the pigs work on interpretive dance. How the suspicious farmer could ever
confuse all this noise with routine snoring is a bit of a stretch, but the
hilarious late-night practice scenes inside the barn will help readers make the
leap. At the talent show, the cows and sheep impress some of the judges, but
lack of sleep has the pigs truly snoring when it is time to perform.
Fortunately, Duck steps in to save the day with a winning version of Born to Be
Wild. After the talent show, Farmer Brown suspects nothing until he hears boings
coming from the barn. Comical watercolor illustrations provide the punch lines
to many jokes within the well-paced text. Some of the sophisticated humor will
go over the heads of most children, especially the witty footnotes that pepper
the story.
This is such a fun story that the younger kids would absolutely love along with the other books taht this author writes. She has a great collection for the classroom!
I love the way you describe the story! It's so descriptive I feel as if I'm enjoying the book without reading the book. This book sounds adorable and like a really good book for a younger classroom! Thanks for introducing it to us :)
ReplyDeleteThis book had such cute humor in it that little kids would love! It's a great idea to introduce animals and sounds they make to younger students. The idea of animals having a personality is always fun to read about! This book is a good mix off educational (animals and sounds) and also fun with the humor throughout the story.
