This book is about a cow looking for her "moo". She goes to different animals who offer their various sounds. Of course she finds her moo at the end.
My favorite thing about this book is the illustrations. The author tells in the front how the illustrations were made. She made paper and added
I would use this book to discuss art. You could actually make paper in class for hands on experience. You could also have a discussion about the value of recycling and how beauty can come from something used.

The Cow who Clucked is about a cow’s adventure to fin her moo. One morning cow wakes up to realize that she is clucking instead of mooing. Cow travels around the farm talking to the other animals such as pig, bee, and mouse in search of her moo. Cow finally finds her moo whenever she see hen. Hen
This book seemed a little repetitive to me after cow met each animal she would say “cluck, cluck” the animal would reply then cow says “it is not you who has my moo”. I somewhat got bored with this. I know younger students would not though (reader response). I do think that the children would find satisfaction in helping cow find her moo.
I feel that children will really enjoy the interactive part of this book. I could use this book while working with animals and their sounds. I could also use this book to help show children that it is always good to be nice to friends and family because you never know what might be wrong. I could use this book to help with student interactions within a group. As we know student interaction is always great.

Cow has lost her moo and spends the day trying to find out who has it. The character development and setting is limited to the illustrations which are well done and fun. The plot is repetitive as Cow see if each animal that she comes across has have her moo. Overall this would be a great book for a

This story is about a cow who wakes up and realizes she can no longer moo. She decides she will have to find her moo. She travels all the way across the farm and talks to each animal she meets to see if they have her moo. No one does so Cow heads back to the barn. As she passes Hen she hears Hen
This story wasn't necessarily one of my favorites. I feel as though the book was dark as far as the illustrations went. The book did portray the animal sounds of each animal. I feel as though the end was just cut off and not explained on how she got her moo back.
This book could be used in an unit on farm animals, The book can help promote determination in that Cow never gave up looking for her moo. The book could be used to promote a writing extension on how the kids think cow got her moo back from Hen.

This book is about a cow that woke up one morning and discovered she had lost her moo. Instead of having a moo she had a cluck! The cow spent the rest of the day searching the farm for her moo. She went from animal to animal until she finally reached the hen who had her moo. Once they had found
I thought this book was cute but somewhat boring. I expected it to have more of a twist and story to why the cow clucked. There wasn't much of a surprise to it. I also was not a huge fan of the illustrations.
Classroom Extension #1: Assign one student to be the cow and the other stuednts to be other animals. Have the student who is the cow go around the class to the other animals until they are able to find their "moo".
Classroom Extension #2: Much like the first extension, you could assign the students with different animal sounds. This time though, assign two student the same sounds. The students will have to go around the classroom making their animal sound until the find their match.

This book was very cute. The cow in this story has lost her "moo". She looks all over the farm for it, but she cannot find it. She asks each of the other animals if they have seen her moo, and no one has. She passes chicken on the way back to the barn, and the hen moos at her.

A book about a cow who suddenly lost her moo! Now all she does is cluck, and she is out on a mission to find out who took her moo. A delightful tale perfect for young children, the book teaches them many animal sounds. I have read this to preschoolers and they love it.

A story about a cow who lost his moo. He asks all of the animals if they found it, each animal answers with his own animal sound until he gets to chick, who answers with a moo. They exchange noises and everybody is happy.
Great illustrations, good book for learning animal sounds.

This is a great book for younger children to learn their animal sounds. The cow has lost her moo and searches all around the farm until she finds the hen who has her moo- and they exchange back sounds so everything is normal on the farm again.
LibraryThing member ogechukwu
Loved the use of repetitions, "its not you who has my moo". and "the cow moved on". children will learn the sounds animals make and be able to associate each sound with the corresponding animal.

This book is about a cow who is trying to find her voice. Children could use this to distinguish the sound of different animals.

Summary: A cow wakes up and suddenly has a "cluck" instead of a "moo." She then goes out to search for it. Along her journey approaches various animals such as a dog, fish, and goat. She listens to the sound they make to see if one of them has her "moo." She then responds with, "It is not you who
Personal reaction: The story is good for young kids due to the repetition. I would say it would be optimal for 3-4 year olds. There is not a lot of detail in the story, but it is good for going over animals and all of the different sounds that they make. In the story the cow does not end her journey until her sound is found, she is not willing to give up.
Extension Ideas:
1. An animal song can be played that goes over the different animals and the sound they make.
2. Talk to the class about how it can be frustrating when we lose something, but if we stay calm, keep searching, and don't give up then we will have more success than if we get angry that it is lost, frustrated that we have to look for it, and then pout.
