Rewiew: "Moo" by Sharon Creech

What do two city kids know about farms? Find out in "Moo" by Sharon Creech. When twelve year old Reena, her little brother Luke and their parents move from the noisy, bustling big city to a small, quiet town in Maine their lives change forever. The town is so small they can ride their bikes anywhere without problems and no one is a stranger.

Not only did they leave their friends behind that they've known FOREVER, but now Reena and Luke have been volunteered, by their parents, to help crazy and eccentric old Mrs. Fahlala on her farm. Mrs. Fahlala has a pig named Paulie, a cat named China, a snake named Edna, and a cantankerous eight-hundred pound cow named Zora.
