Mrs. Mooley
What a treat for Mrs. Mooley when the farmer's son leaves his book of nursery rhymes on the floor of the barn! Immediately she is inspired by the picture of a cow jumping over the moon. Intrepid cow that she is, Mrs. Mooley sets out to duplicate that feat. All the other barnyard animals laugh at her, from the hen who "kahawwws" to the goose who "kahonks." But Mrs. Mooley is undaunted. "All it takes is determination and a little practice," she tells them calmly. Children will happily share Mrs. Mooley's cheerful optimism as determination, practice, and a little luck combine to boost her over that moon. Juvenile audiences (ages 4-8).
