Reviews Washington Parent - October 1, 2011
Mr. and Mrs. Noodleman move into a dilapidated farm house and fix up the chicken coop, but a ghostly cow soon haunts their hens. Day after day, the Noodlemans check the nests, but no eggs are forthcoming. Is the spectral bovine scaring the chickens? What exactly does she want? In this playful narrative—part ghost story, part mystery—the Noodlemans, with the help of Boo Cow, track down the real culprit. The ending finds the husband and wife dining on eggs benedict and enjoying regular visits from their friendly bovine ghost. Margot Apple’s illustrations of expressive animals perfectly complement the gently humorous tone of Patricia Baehr’s story.

They find out that their barn is haunted by Boo Cow each night; can the Noodlemans figure out a way to send away this ghostly cow or will an unexpected twist of events lead them somewhere else? Boo Cow is a great book to promote interaction among children and it will keep them guessing until the end.
