My daughter loves the minnie and moo books! She thinks they are hysterical.
 Good book sunk by the hamburger episode
We read Minnie and Moo Go to the Moon and found that charming.
This book doesn't live up to it. The hamburger episode just didn't seem age appropriate in a child's book where kids relate to characters. Beginning books don't often deal with death, let alone animal cannibalism.
At issue, at one point, Minnie and Moo (the cow "stars" of the book.) are offered hamburgers which they later surmise to be their friends (now deceased) that we met at the beginning of the book.
 Funny, funny, funny!
My 7 yr. old daughter had this on her 2nd grade summer reading list for school. We got it from the library and laughed so hard while reading it. She must have read it 5 times out loud to every family member she could find. I decided to buy some M&M books for my almost 7 yr. old niece for her b'day. It's a great 1st grade to 2nd grade reading level book. Content wise, ages 6-8 will get most of the jokes. The wonderful illustrations help to make these cows funny as they really support the jokes in the book. I was not offended by the girdle references in the book (as some others were) as I told my daughter it's a form of underwear and at this age, anything having to do with underwear is funny.
 !!!
This is one of the weirdest books I have ever read. I was reading it to my little sister and she did not quite understand how the hamburgers could be Minnie and Moo's friends. I don't think that's a very good thing to put into children's books. Overall, this book was very strange! Don't spend your money on it, buy one of my favorites like "The Berenstain Bears" series or the "Amelia Bedilia" books.
a bit much
My grandchildren really enjoy the Minnie and Moo books and I bought this one for them without really looking at it. I read it myself however, before reading it to them and was greatly disappointed by the references to the hamburgers as recently deceased acquaintances of Minnie and Moo. I have been a vegetarian for 13 years but do not feel it is appropriate to explain the reasons or images of slaughtering cows to my grandchildren before they are capable of handling this information. The story could have been just as much fun without the hamburger episode.
