About This Book
Reach for this book when the family needs a dose of pure, unadulterated silliness and a joyful mood booster. Blue Moo isn't a traditional story, but a vibrant songbook featuring 17 original, hilarious jukebox-style hits with lyrics by Sandra Boynton. Paired with her iconic animal illustrations, the songs (originally on an accompanying CD and now widely available online) are performed by music legends like B.B. King and Neil Sedaka. It's a fantastic, high-energy way to bond as a family, encouraging singing, dancing, and laughing together. Perfect for kids who love music and animals, it's an interactive experience that gets everyone moving and smiling.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on sadness in a very gentle, metaphorical way in songs like "Sad Teddy" and "One Shoe Blues." The sadness is presented as a temporary mood or a whimsical problem (like having only one shoe), not as a result of trauma, grief, or loss. The approach is secular and the resolution is simply the end of the song, leaving the feeling light and not distressing.
