After racing into town on a runaway bed, Minnie and Moo and their fellow farm buddies decide to join the Halloween festivities—performing hilarious tricks to earn their treats!

The funniest and sweetest buddies since Frog and Toad, Minnie and Moo will earn giggles from young readers. The Minnie and Moo stories are fun independent reads and also perfect for reading aloud, as they're filled with funny dialogue from these goofy and adorable cows.

Denys Cazet was an elementary school teacher for 25 years, and has also been a school librarian and elementary school media specialist. He was inspired to tell stories about the silly cow best friends when he passed a herd of cows in which all but two were facing the same way. Those two nonconformist cows became Minnie and Moo.

Minnie and Moo: The Night of the Living Bed is a Level Three I Can Read book. Level 3 includes many fun subjects kids love to read about on their own. Themes include friendship, adventure, historical fiction, and science. Level 3 books are written for early independent readers. They include some challenging words and more complex themes and stories.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 1-2. A classic horror movie gone pastoral? Not to worry; no flesh-eating zombies here. It's just cows Minnie and Moo facing Halloween. Minnie has a horrible dream (a giant mouse consumes the last bit of chocolate in the world), lurching awake only to find the bed she shares with Moo rolling down the hill. But bed is forgotten in favor of chocolate, with bovines, in their pajamas, setting out to save the world (and especially Minnie) from chocolate deficiency by trick-or-treating. Eventually, everything is put to rights, but not before some typically goofy action on the part of those irrepressible cows. This isn't quite as funny or as strongly plotted as some of the duo's previous books in the I Can Read series, but there are still some funny exchanges that new readers will easily pick up on. Large type and lots of art that breaks up the words will help as well. REVWR

My three year old twin grandchildren love the Minnie and Moo series, especially the boy. There is always an adventure that keeps their interest and caring between the characters. I enjoy reading them to them. I think when they are ready to read themselves they will pick these books up again.
