Synopsis

Moo’s simple wish is for “a nice pair of thumbs." It’s her longing that leads the cow girls to dress up and dance at the farmer’s party. When they’re mistaken for the farmer’s twin sisters from California, the bovine buddies realize it’s time to hoof it right out of the party! In Minnie and Moo Go to Paris, the two wayward cows are convinced that they are in Paris when they take a bus on a crazy journey that includes passing an electrical tower (the Eiffel Tower?) and then pick up a busload of animal friends to continue on their international adventure. As always, the slapstick humor and endearing characters meld into an appealing story of friendship and fun.

About Denys Cazet

Denys Cazet is the author and illustrator of more than 25 picture books for children, including Never Spit On Your Shoes, winner of the California Young Readers Medal. The books about Minnie and Moo are his first for beginning readers. He was inspired to tell stories about the silly cow best-friends when he passed a herd of cows in which all but two were facing the same way. The other two stood next to each other, facing in the opposite direction from the rest of the cows. He immediately dubbed the two nonconformists Minnie and Moo and imagined the adventures two cows who were loyal friends rather than followers of the herd. Mr. Cazet is currently writing I Can Read Books featuring Elvis the Rooster from the farm on which Minnie and Moo live. Mr. Cazet was an elementary school teacher for 25 years, and has also been a school librarian and elementary school media specialist. He remains active in his local elementary school parent and advisory committees. A California native, Mr. Cazet lives with his family in the foothills of the Napa Valley.
