All the good things you've heard about this book are true. My fifteen-month-old daughter loves books and has about 25, and while she's normally content to just sit and leaf through the pages, once or twice a day she'll bring a book to me and put it in my hand, obviously asking me to read it to her. Moo Baa La La La is ALWAYS the first book she picks up. She just loves it and wants me to read it to her two or three times in a row (good thing it's a short book!) This book obviously has universal appeal that all kids love.

I first bought this book for my nephew who is now 17 years old and we loved it so much that I bought it for my baby before he was even born. It's smart and funny and I don't tire of reading it to my son over and over and over... In fact, we have it memorized and we'll recite it on car rides to help pass the time.

Shakespeare knew it, and parents and other adults know it: People love a comedy of errors. Perhaps the most delighted audience is the youngest; toddlers love hearing mistakes and correcting them. It's a surefire hit for their certain sense of humor, and Sandra Boynton exploits this beautifully in this small board book.
Just a few set-up lines and Boynton is ready for the book's main joke:
"A cow says MOO."
"A sheep says BAA."
"Three singing pigs say LA LA LA!"
"'No, no!' you say, 'that isn't right.
The pigs say OINK all day and night.'"
Practice your dramatic abilities and really ham it up (pun intended) when you read the singing pigs and "that isn't right" lines on pages 3 and 4. There's also some action (dogs chasing cats), and a nice quizzical conclusion: ("It's quiet now. What do you [underlined] say?")
Boynton's familiar style is whimsical and slightly tongue-in-cheek. Her animals have very expressive, human-looking emotions, conveyed mostly through the eyes. For example, a quacking duck and a neighing horse aren't intrinsically very interesting, but when they're facing each other with similarly baffled faces, there's a subtle humor. The singing pigs, by the way, are anything but subtle. They're pizzazed out in coordinating striped pants, solid sports coats, and elegant white bow ties. They excited pigs dance in unison and hold canes in a showy vaudeville style. For a short and simple board book aimed at the very young, this is lots of fun. For older toddlers, take a look at Boynton's counting book with a difference: "Hippos Go Berserk!" She knows and loves her animals, and so will your little one.

I read this book to my baby on and off and every time I trip at the big ol' Rhinoceroses! Come on Ms. Boynton, your readers can hardly say goo goo and moo moo why such a big word.
It could have been water buffalos or plane old "rhinos" or for that matter "big hippos"

This is an amazing selection. This has brought excitement towards my son's interest to books. After a couple of reading, I noticed that he has been imitating the sounds I make as I read along the different animal sounds. This usually happen after I read the book. He'd get the book from me and flip through the pages. As he flips, he makes the different sound each animal on that page makes. Most endearing is his moo sound and the hush at the last page...complete with action. Although he can't make all the sounds yet, at least he could match up the sounds with the animals. That's a great start for a 20 month old toddler, who hasn't began talking. I used not to be fond of Boynton's Book, but with the development I see, I'm gonna have to add more of her selections in our children's home library. I would highly recommend this particular selection.
