| Kindergarten-Grade 2—Hilda Mae Heifer is down in the dumps, and her moo sounds oh-so-blue. The extended farm family that helped her find her voice in Moo Who? (HarperCollins, 2004) recognize that they can't stand by while she sounds so low. Rather than listen to her tune-free wails—or plug their ears—they conclude that misery loves company and swiftly organize auditions for a chorus to harmonize with—or perhaps drown out—Hilda Mae's sad song. Each animal's moment in the spotlight features a familiar sound: "Baaa-baaa," "nay nay nay-nay-nay," "squeak squeak SQUEAK," "ribbit." The judges at the well-attended auditions are strangely reminiscent of those found, for instance, on American Idol: the rooster is always complimentary; the duck invariably cries, "You nailed it!" The pig finds fault; he's HARSH—while the cat calls, "Next!" When the cows come home, they learn that Hilda Mae has given up singing in favor of another talent. Palatini's prose is poetic, quirky, inventive, and just plain fun. If the words "baffled," "bewildered," and "befuddled" are called for, she plunks them down on the page. Graves escalates the sophisticated silliness with his wacky, superbly crafted, almost 3-D illustrations. (You've got to love Hilda Mae's huge red pompadour.) The gorgeous colors and absurd perspectives take this tale to another level. It's a great day at the farm.—Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Hilda the heifer has a problem...her moo's have turned to boo hoo's. The other barnyard dwellers think she's lonely and as her 'boo hoo moo's' get louder and more melancholy, they hatch a plan to rid her of her boo hoo blues. They hold auditions amongst themselves for a chance to sing with Hilda in the hopes that having a singing companion will lighten her mood - and maybe drown out her horrible singing voice! In true AI fashion, as contestants try to croon, warble, or squawk their way into a singing gig with Hilda, they get feedback from a hen, goose, and pig who are obvious spoofs of their TV counterparts. What will Hilda's reaction be as her fellow farm critters reveal their intentions? Moo, honk, and bow-wow your way through the book to find out.
I am always on the lookout for fun, entertaining books that will appeal to both of my girls, aged 2 and 8. Boo-Hoo Moo is certainly one that hits the mark. With more animal sounds than you can count, and page upon page of bright, colorful barnyard scenes filled with quirky looking animals, I'm sure this book will be read dozens of times at my house.
As an added bonus, [...] has a link where Margie herself reads the book. Be sure to check it out - my girls thought it was hilarious! |
