Dooby Dooby Moo

Great for grades k-2. Children can draw and color pictures of farm animals.

This book is a good example of fantasy because it is about farm animals that are lead by a duck signing up and participating in a talent show and the duck wins the first prize trampoline which they all jump on in the barn. This would not happen in real life but seems believable in the book.

Critique of Genre: This is an excellent example of modern fantasy because it describes a group of farm animals that enter a talent show, something that could not happen in real life. The author, however, writes in a way that makes the story believable.

Primary
Genre: Fantasy- All of the farm animals participated in a talent show. They sang different songs or danced. This isn't normal to their realistic behaviors. This is why I say it's fantasy.

Another fun installment in the ongoing tales of The Cows, Duck and Farmer Brown. Although lacking in quite as much subtext and double entendre for adults, in comparison to the first three books, Cronin and Lewin once again tickle the funny bone with a story that's great fun and illustrations that

Another fun book by Doreen Cronin. Now the animals cooperate with each other again, to win a great prize at the county fair talent show. They simply have to find a way to get around Farmer Brown! This book works best as a read aloud, especially by someone who knows the tunes to all the songs!

This cute picture book is about farm animals that are always coming up with schemes that get the farmer wondering about them. This time the scheme was a talent contest at the county fair. The duck was the director of all the acts the other animals were going to put on. The farmer is worried they

are up to something so he loads them up in his truck and takes them to the fair with him. When it is time for the animals to perform none of them impress the judges. As a last minute save, the duck performs and wins a trampoline for the animals. The farmer never figures out what the animals are up to.

I thought this book was really cute and relates to me when I was younger I always wanted to enter the talent shows. I also always kept my mom on her toes wondering what I was doing all the time.

After reading this book it would be cool to do your own talent show in the classroom. See the creativity the students could come up with and then reward them all at the end of the show. This would get their imaginations going and also maybe cure a little stage fright. You could also perform in front of the whole school.

A good read aloud for grades K - 3. Farmer Brown's animals decide to participate in a talent show. The cows sing, the pigs dance, and the ducks do a version of Born to be Wild. I like Doreen Cronin's other books Click, Clack Moo, and Giggle, Giggle Quack. I think she would be a good person for an

Farmer Brown's barnyard animals are up to something! But he can't quite figure it out, not even in disguise! The animals are preparing for the upcoming talent show, because they want to win the trampoline! They all prepare a song to sing, and duck ends up winning the trampoline! This book is great

Once again, not as good as [Click Clack Moo], but it certainly is an amusing addition to the series.

Dooby Dooby Moo is a continuation of the animals from the story Click Clack Moo. These mischievous animals are at it again, but this time they are practicing for a talent show in town. This book is a great tool to use for children to understand practice, winning, and losing. In the story, just as

in life, there is one winner, Duck, and the rest have lost. However, the rest are not sad for losing. This is a great opportunity to teach young children that you may not always win or succeed, but its the fact that you tried, and you need to pick yourself up and try again! This book also teaches practice. Throughout the entire story the animals are practicing their acts; all day and all night. Relating this to students is great because they can connect it to their lives, practicing reading, writing, games, sports, instruments, etc!

This is a very silly, playful, and fun book. It is a fiction work that plays around with animal sounds and song. I enjoyed the light-heartedness of this book, and I would enjoy reading it to children to cheer them up. I loved the bright illustrations, they really helped the story speak.

Modern fantasy, the story is about some farm animal that take the farmers newspaper and found out about a talent show at the local county fair.

Of course the pigs did an interpretive dance" to which "the duck snored." And of course a box of chalk is second prize, leaving the veggie chop-o-matic to be third. Poor Farmer Brown - not a clue what his animals are up to.
