Minnie and Moo by Denys Cazet

Minnie and Moo by Denys Cazet.

Two cow friends, Minnie and Moo, are the central characters. Moo is a thinker and leads them in wacky adventures.

Reading levels are not marked on many of the books. Most of the sentences are more than a few words, and a few of the words are not easy to sound out. The dialogue is hilarious. The stories are intelligent, and the language flows well enough that it is not obvious they are beginning readers. There are great details which make them some of the most fun readers.
