Review

An overly-confident cow, a supportive duck, a cow-sized tutu, what could go wrong? Moo Moo is an impulsive character who has taken it into her head that she will be a ballerina. Mr. Quackers is mildly surprised but, apparently used to her flights of fancy, goes along to cheer her on. Fans of Mo Willems's "Elephant & Piggie" books will enjoy the narrative style of Miller. The drawings are clear and simple, the reader/listener knows that the outcome will not be exactly what Moo Moo believes it to be, and there are many drawings that make use of motion lines to show the movement and reactions of characters. There is nothing particularly new here, but it is a solid debut.

Overall Book Score: good
