No Moon! No Milk!

A parent might reach for this book when their child has a huge, seemingly impossible dream and needs a story that celebrates big ambitions with humor and heart. Martha the cow is inspired by her famous ancestor, the Cow Who Jumped Over the Moon, and decides she will not give any milk until she, too, can visit the moon. The farmer's hilarious and increasingly elaborate attempts to solve the problem finally lead to a fantastic solution that honors Martha's dream. This silly, imaginative tale is perfect for preschoolers who love animals and space. It gently models perseverance and creative problem-solving, showing that even the wildest goals are worth pursuing and that grown-ups can be partners in achieving them.
