Minnie and Moo and the Thanksgiving Tree (Minnie and Moo)
Minnie and Moo and the Thanksgiving Tree (Minnie and Moo) Udderly hilarious!
Minnie and Moo are back in two new tales, the latest in the series that the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books called "the cream of the beginning-reader crop." In Minnie and Moo and the Thanksgiving Tree, Minnie and Moo vow to protect their two turkey friends, Zeke and Zack, from the farmer and his wife on the season's high-risk holiday. Zeke and Zack, however, have a few friends of their own…relatives, thirty-six of them. Hiding them in the old oak tree is one thing…hiding the chickens, the ducks, the geese, the pigs, the sheep, the Holsteins, and an ostrich is another…and another, and another, and…
Customer Review: Great book for beginning readers
Cazet's books not only build confidence for emergent readers, but they have subtle humor and let you ask some simple questions about plot that aren't simply written in the story.

Customer Review: Richie's Picks: MINNIE AND MOO AND THE THANKSGIVING TREE
This is the wackiest easy reader ever published! We've successfully adapted this one for the stage so that our middle schoolers can perform it for the K-2 students who, in turn, can utilize the actual book in learning to read. The laugh-out-loud tale involves all the animals hiding up a tree because the turkeys have gone missing and…well, you know, the food chain — if there is no turkey for Thanksgiving then who is going to be next in line. It doesn't matter how many times I hear the line, I fall over laughing when one of the city cousins tugs hard on a curly tail in the tree and brightly exclaims, "I picked a pig!"
