Chilly Milly Moo

Cute book with great message, the drawings were little busy in places but unique

Love reading this to my grandchildren and as a mystery reader at school. Great way for children to learn that we all have special talents .

This is a fun, imaginative book....it's a pleasure reading it before bedtime. Kids and parents alike will love Milly's story (although it does make me want ice cream by the end!)

My whole family loves this book!

This is a book about a cow who isn't producing any milk, complaining it's too hot and basically being fairly depressed for most of the story. The farmer's patience eventually starts to wear a bit thin and she's told she can't stay, if she doesn't start producing milk, (I don't think she ever quite understood she was off to the abattoir although her imagination does produce a scenario on an island without grass and sharks in the water). Luckily though for Milly though, it's not up to her to save herself, and a storm will turn her circumstances around. How exactly, you'll have to read to find out.It's a fairly basic story with a children's imagination tailored ending and outcome. The illustrations are simple in style, but effective in telling the tale. The illustrations sort of reminded me of New Zealand for some reason in regards to the attire warn by Milly throughout.

Chilly Milly Moo is a very special cow. Her tendency to overheat means she has a very difficult time in the summer. It probably doesn't help that she insists on wearing a knit cap and boots year round, but apparently that's her thing. Does fashion ever really make sense?It might not be too hot for boots, but it is certainly too hot for milk making. Millie skulks around the barn, embarrassed by her inability to perform her main function. It doesn't help that the other cows are lolling around in the pastures, bragging about the quantities of milk they regularly produce. While Millie sulks, they loudly proclaim that the heat from the sun's rays boosts their milk production. Poor Chilly Milly Moo. The farmer informs her that if she doesn't make milk, she won't be able to stay at the farm.This dried up cow goes to bed feeling confused and unappreciated, and wakes to find a snowstorm raging outside. While the other barn inhabitants are shivering, moaning and groaning about the temperature, Milly Moo is pleased as punch to see the farmer arrive. Strange noises erupt from her midsection when the farmer settles on his milking stool. Once the farmer sees what his crazy cow can do, he can't believe his fortune. The snowstorm has turned Chilly Millie Moo into an ice cream dispenser!Fun book, funny ending, and great illustrations. This is the first children's book from Fiona Ross, but I have my fingers crossed that this is her signature style of illustration and hope to see more. The digitally created illustrations have kind of a messy look to them, almost like smudges of ink everywhere. The font runs in different directions (I particularly like the sentence printed on the farmer's bum) creating a sense of whimsy. It is certainly fitting that the cow unique enough to wear a hat with a pom pom is the who who astonishes the farmer in the end.

Milly Moo is way too hot to produce any milk. Farmer threatens to send her away if she won't produce. When the temperature drops significantly overnight, Milly's special talent for chilly concoctions becomes apparent. Ross' book is silly fun that will make young children chuckle. I think this would be great for story time. Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library Teacher

I bought this for my daughter who is named Amelia but we call her Milly Moo so as soon as we saw this book we had to get it for her 1st birthday which is fast approaching. Such a lovely book and beautiful illustrations. Much bigger than expected. A beautiful hard back cover. Can't wait untill we get to read it to her.

I have bought this book for my two sons, 3 and 1. They love it. Story is lovely and easy to understand for little once. And pictures are absolutely wonderful. Have bought another book by the same author Ballet cat; it’s a hit too!

This is a nice story, that children find funny. The words are set out in a slightly confusing way so it can be hard to read in the correct order. Lovely pictures.
