Minnie and Moo Go to Paris

Minnie and Moo

by Denys Cazet

Getting there is half the fun with this pair, and along the way (past an electrical tower they think is the Eiffel Tower), Minnie and Moo pick up a busload of equally adventurous animal friends from nearby Africa World, careen through a car wash they believe is China, and find themselves trading stories under a night sky in what they hope is America. The power and appeal of story itself has rarely been funnier—or sweeter—than in this slapstick extravaganza.

Neo recently discovered read-along audiobooks... and chose to return to this piece.

Reading about the wonders of Paris in a magazine, Minnie and Moo decide to visit, adding China to their list as well. 'Borrowing' a bus, they set out and find themselves at the town's Africa exhibit, where the encounter a number of regional animals. From there, things take many interesting turns. Neo loved the stories and wondered if we, too, could head out to Paris the next weekend he is here.

A little all over the place at the end there but overall funny. The Eiffel Tower part was great.

Oh my! I loved this easy book that I read to my granddaughter. It’s a hoot and I can’t wait to find more in the series for her.

...“That is a picture of an oil well. It is in the middle of the street”.

“That is not an oil well. That is the Eiffel Tower, in Paris France!”, said Moo.

Minnie folded her arms.

“Moo...you have been thinking! It’s those magazines!”...

“Time for new faces, new places...Paris! Africa ! China!

And Minnie and Moo do visit all those places on their wild road trip.
Great fun and highly recommended.

Pretty darn silly. Don't start the series here, though, as it's best to get to know the characters from closer to the beginning.

There's a section in this book- 3 or 4 pages? - that are inside Minnie and Moo Go Dancing - which, of course, doesn't make any sense - ? The farmer loses his glasses in 2 different books? The part about the monkey in the farm makes more sense in this book than Minnie and Moo Go Dancing - or was it inside Minnie and Moo Save the Earth? I'm very confused now.

This is another great story in the Minnie and Moo series. The farmer, as usual, is just as funny as the pair of title cows. I highly recommend this book.

Minnie and Moo Go to Paris (Minnie and Moo) by Denys Cazet is another frenetic adventure by the daring cow duo. Moo decides she must travel to exotic locales, so when they find an empty bus, Moo commandeers it. As she logically argues, the sign on the bus SAYS "Got a place to go? Take this bus." Amelia Bedelia could not have stated it better! Hijinks ensue!

In the course of their trip, they tour Africa, crash into the Eiffel Tower (but can't find Paris), and visit China (sadly, it's monsoon season). Back on the farm they entertain new friends from Africa. It's another hysterically funny outing that beginning and transitional readers will love.

For ages 5 to 7, beginning/transitional readers, humor, cow and travel themes, and fans of Minnie, Moo, and Denys Cazet.

Another fun story in the Minnie and Moo series by Denys Cazet. They always have the craziest adventures and our girls love the stories. The story seems a bit disjointed to me, but it's still entertaining. We followed along with this book as we listened to it narrated by Barbara Caruso on audio cassette.

Minnie and Moo are two cows that decide to make off with a bus and see the world. Neither of these two cows are very good at reading signs as they stumble through Africa (Africa World Amusement Park), the Eiffel Tower (an electrical tower), and China (China Wong’s Car Wash).

So Minnie and Moo are one more famous set of book characters to add to the long list of book characters (and real people, including me) who want to go to Paris. Yes, their trip to Paris was pretty much like my trip to Paris this summer (mostly in my imagination), but, hey, they came away with some great stories.

This book was just okay. It might be too confusing for young students but too young for older students. It seemed a little too long for a read aloud as it is divided into chapters but some pages have very little text and illustrations on every page. It seemed like it could be cute story but the animals stole a bus and wrecked it and broke into an amusement park. There are several different books about Minnie and Moo.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one children's book that made me laugh out loud. I do think some younger kids might not be able to appreciate the humor, but in general this book is sure to provide entertainment for children and adults alike. Minnie and Moo decide to go to Paris, Africa, and China. How they get there and back (all in the course of one day) is a fun and entertaining journey.

One of my favorites in the series!

[Tricia · Rating 2 out of 5]

I can't even find the words to review this title. It's my first of this series so I'm unsure if they are all so random and odd. I am speechless.

My son's review: Good story. My favorite part was when Nadine found the farmer's glasses.

Two cow friends, Minnie and Moo, find a bus and try to drive to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower.
