If you see a black and white Holstein when someone says “cow,” prepare to have your horizons widened in this high-stepping, vivacious children’s story about an unusual bovine named Missy Moo.
Now, the first thing you may be wondering is, what is a “Highland Coo”? Good question! If you’re unfamiliar with the breed, the Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. A traditional breed of western Scotland, the Highland is hardy. With its long, shaggy, wooly reddish-brown coat, the Highland does well in cold weather and is thus able to withstand the intemperate conditions of the region.
We meet a unique and unusual Highland Cow in this sweet and uplifting story. Her name is Missy Moo. She’s unlike the other cows but is perfectly happy and well content in her own skin. Besides. Missy Moo is anything but your “run of the mill” bovine. Happy and carefree, Missy Moo dances in green meadows and on snow-covered ground. Wet weather doesn’t dampen Missy Moo’s attitude either. Effervescent, she dances happily in puddles of rain and cavorts and twirls in the clear water of a little brook, delighted in “her own little world that she had made.” Young readers are thus urged to “remember to embrace what makes you, YOU, just like our friend, Missy Moo, the Highland Coo.
Told in spirited rhyme, this positive, upbeat story offers young readers gentle lessons on being true to yourself, cultivating and maintaining a positive attitude, and celebrating your unique personality.
The illustrations are top-notch. For example, the cover illustration artfully captures the personality and uniqueness of Missy Moo while it suggests motion and energy. Additionally, Missy Moo’s shaggy reddish-brown coat, unique to the Highland breed, is captured with a careful match of skillful brushstrokes and rich color. So are meadow flowers, snowfall, and Missy Moo splashing in a babbling brook. The illustrations of the Holsteins singing along with Missy Moo are priceless!
The target audience of children ages baby to seven years will enjoy this book. It would make a welcome addition to any early elementary or home library.
It’s a kick!
