Miss Moo-Moo is planning
an art show, and she invites the other animals on the farm
to contribute their creations. In “ The Miss Moo-Moo
the Cow Gift Set ” ($19.95; ages 3 years and up), Miss
Moo-Moo, the furry cow puppet, aligns with the book, so that
she can read the story along with the child. “ Art on
the Farm ” can be removed from its hard cover and replaced
with a Story Starters book (also included), which encourages
children to write their own adventures of Miss Moo-Moo with
ample space to draw more pictures or color the cow, if so
desired. The puppet can be removed from the book and
played with on its own. This imaginative toy teaches
children about art and colors, encourages creativity through
drawing and the written word, and builds confidence in reading
out loud.
