Reviews:
*It's witty, for sure, and skillfully crafted: Lisa Wheeler's rhymes never get choppy...Ponder Goembel's acrylic illustrations brim with clever detail. Alicia Potter, ©Family Fun magazine, June/July 2002/Best New Books
*Udderly relentless when it comes to milking a pun...Goembel depicts the all animal cast with crisp precision...Children will stampede to story time for this rhymed bovine romance. ©Booklist 2002
*...well paced, clever rhyme,...meticulously and humorously illustrated...©School Library Journal 2002
*Wheeler's use of rollicking words, whimsical rhymes and a plethora of cow puns make Sailor Moo a joy to read--both silently and aloud. ©Bookpage 2002
