If Mama is as angry as she looks, Juan Bobo is in big trouble!

A VERY GOOD day in the life of a storyteller: a fifth-grade regular at my afternoon storytelling sessions drew her rendition of a scene from one of my tales that captured her imagination. This story had stuck with her an entire week, coming out in illustrated form after the subsequent Thursday session. Big smile on my face! 

I encourage my listeners to share their favorite stories with others, to tell them their own way, to write down a version or draw a picture.  I loved seeing this very famous Juan Bobo tale brought to life--and so beautifully.

Read Up: Moo!

Better mooo outta the way!

A cow spots a car in her grazing space, and just like that, everything is mooving at a fast pace!

What a book!  David LaRochelle and Mike Wohnoutka manage to tell an engaging, action-packed tale in just a few pages, and just about one word.  

Is "moo" a word?

We've had a lot of fun at storytimes discussing what is happening, so there is absolutely no lack of language and thought involved in processing this hilarious story.  Pick it up, share it, and talk about it--and be sure to moo along!

Check this book out! Have fun with it, & let me know what you think. Do you have any favorite books about cows, or cars--or whatever? Please let me know!
