  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 06/01/2014 When the farmer and his wife take a vacation, cows Minnie and Moo seize the opportunity to put on a show. There’s no shortage of local talent and wannabe stars. In fact, a major problem is keeping Elvis, the singing rooster, away from the microphone so that other performers can wow the audience. Meanwhile the fox, coyotes, and weasels lurking around the stage are clearly up to no good. When the money box disappears, Minnie and Moo show their mettle in a high-speed motorcycle chase scene. While the bovine duo first appeared in beginning readers in 1998, Minnie & Moo and the Seven Wonders of the World (2003) was the first for older readers. The second entry in the chapter book series is a good bet for kids who discovered the characters when they began reading and are ready for longer books. With amusing dialogue, expressive black-and-white drawings, and a chapter called “Race of the Port-A-Potties,” fans won’t be disappointed. - Copyright 2014 Booklist. Loading...
