I Want your Moo: A Story for Children about Self-Esteem

Gobble-gobble. Gobble-gobble.

What a horrible noise!

I can't stand the sound of my voice!

Toodles doesn't like herself. Her legs are skinny, her feathers are brown, and her head has no hair. Most of all, she hates her Gobble-gobble. All that changes when Toodles saves the day with her super-confident, super-empowering, super-turkey Gobble-gobble!

With lively rhymes and funny illustrations, this book will have kids laughing out loud while they learn to accept their own Gobble-gobbles.

An extensive Note to Parents relays additional information and strategies for helping kids overcome a lack of confidence and self-esteem.

Review:

Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Award for Children's Books

I Want Your Moo...is a great tool to help parents and children bolster self esteem in kids. - The Midwest Book Review

The story is told with a light, singsong, snappy rhythm that will keep children on their toes...the animals' expressions of disbelief are hilarious...this is a light-hearted take on a worthy subject, and a smart read-aloud. - School Library Journal
