Gr 1–3—Can Cow save his best friend Moose who has vanished when two of his letters come loose? Cow causes lots of trouble as he tries to find a way to replace Moose's missing letters 'S' and 'E'. Silliness oozes from the pages of this rhyming adventure. Confusion and mayhem rule as Cow borrows letters from other animals, especially from "Bear who is asleep in his chair." Bull is not pleased with Cow's shenanigans and he chases him throughout the story. Cordell's simple ink-and-watercolor illustrations aptly portray the animal characters who are fun and likable. Managing to escape from Bull and causing lots of commotion, Cow finally does find the missing letters and Moose returns to the story.
VERDICT A fun adventure for a reader who enjoys words, rhyming, and silliness.
