Minnie and Moo are back in two noodlehead stories beefed up with appropriately grandiose exaggeration. In Thanksgiving, the cow "girls" help all the edible domestic animals hide from the farmer. The more convoluted Zorro relies on the illustrations to carry the action. Without an ounce of condescension toward his audience, Cazet delivers his slapstick in eight rapid-fire chapters filled with verbal wordplay.
