Clearly, this rivals Moby Dick.

Millie Moo keeps me guessing and surprised. Every time I read it I think we're going to find Millie Moo's friends but it always turns out to be a monkey in a sweater or a fish with fingers.

Ha ha ha ha! Still laughing at "Peacegal" review. ("Clearly this rivals "Moby Dick".) Amen, sister.

Roger Priddy is no newcomer in the world of picture books although his creations usually fall in the children's reference category with titles like First 100 Words. Millie Moo is the exception to his usual grid layout of point-and-say learning books.

Millie Moo is a 'Touch and Feel' book with a plot, which is a bit of a rarity. The reader is asked to guess what animal they are feeling before turning the page only to be surprised with a silly unexpected hybrid such as a fish with fingers or multi-colored zebras. So where are all the farm animals? You will have to keep turning the pages to find out.

In our house, we love to read Millie Moo with a cowgirl accent as if Millie Moo herself, a hyper-color cow, is rounding up her farm full of animals after another hard day on the plains.

This book is nothing but fun. It features farm animals that children know but also has silly animal characters that stir a child's imagination. It has all the things that children love like textures on each page, colorful illustration and a fun and interactive storyline. It tests Vi's patients just because it's a little long but it's a story she will grow into. They did a great job on this one!

Moody (2005) talks about Millie, the crazy cow, animal friends are missing and as she looks for them she finds animals wearing clothes and being different colors than what they usually are. I would use this in my classroom. It would help me teach my students that animals don’t really wear clothes and that they aren’t crazy colors in real life.

Rob had this book on his list and his review is pretty funny. Maybe I should start a page for Liam! Anyway, Mille Moo is alright, but I think my kid is going to think that these weird animals actually exist. I think this book taught Liam how to say "no" to every question that is posed to him.

Great for the touch and feel, my 7 months old loves the touch. However, I can never get my tongue around reading this to my child smoothly. Animals in this book aren't the way they're suppose to be. Bad book for teaching kids about animals. It's all just about the touch and feel.

What a lovely, colourful, slightly wacky book. Florence loved that Mollie Moo was looking for ordinary farmyard animals and ended up seeing lots of exotic and strangely colourful creatures instead. The touchy-feels bits were good for raising anticipation too.

Good read for a kid with the same name

One of my niece's favorites!
