Bookroo's summary

Cindy Moo, a determined cow, hears a tale of a cow jumping over the moon and sets out to prove it's possible. Despite the other cows' laughter and her repeated failures, Cindy's persistence leads her to an unexpected solution. Will she achieve the impossible and leap over the moon? This whimsical adventure will have readers cheering for Cindy's tenacity and creativity.

From the publisher

One night on the farm, the cows overhear a fantastic tale.

“Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon!”

Inspired by this classic rhyme, a plucky cow named Cindy Moo sets out to prove that cows really can leap over the moon.

The other cows laugh at her, but that doesn’t stop Cindy from trying—and failing—night after night . . . until a trick of nature shows Cindy a way to triumph.

As delightfully silly as the original nursery rhyme, this hilarious picture book will have readers of all stripes (and spots) cheering for its determined heroine.
