Moo Moo, Brown Cow Board Book

My daughter is 7 months old, and this has been her favorite book for at least 2 months. She immediately smiles and laughs when I begin reading the story to her every night (because we do read it _every_ night!). Several people have commented on the colors of the illustrations being too monochromatic, but I think that is part of the appeal. Some of her other books have very busy illustrations and I think are too much for her to take in. But the large blocks of color in Moo Moo Brown Cow are easy for her to focus on and she loves it. I would highly recommend this book!

My daughter loves this book. I have read it a least 100 times for her. It teaches so many things in a simple way-numbers, colors, and animals. The pictures in the book look like watercolor paintings and the colors are not exact, but it is illustrated beautifully. I was not disappointed.

My daughter was attracted to this book at 6 months and it continues to be her favorite book (now at 12 months). If I ask her to bring me a book, it's always this one. To me it seems to be the repetition of the similar phrases along with the colors and images that attracts her to it. It's hard, thick pages has stood up to her mauling and chewing on it.I wouldn't use it as a learning tool as the illustrations, while colorful (great at 6 months) are hard to use as a counting tool and the animals while recognizable, aren't distinctive (ie. Goose and Duck are pretty much the same exect for color).As a tool to keep her occupied and watch her grin ear-to-ear as we turn the pages together, it's outstanding!!

one of our favorite books! teaches colors, counting, animals, and is a charming story of how we can never have too many friends. a classic in any child's library.

What a simple and clear book with educational merit for the toddler and preschool set!! The beauty of the book is not only in the simplicity and the imagination of the authors, but also in the talented hand of the illustrator. The story beatifully illustrates the friendship the animals share. An excellent learning tool.
