Merrie Moo has lost the shopping list she wrote down late last night.


What was so important then and why can’t she get it right?
The clock striking every hour she runs all over town,
In and out of every shop, she goes running round and round.
Can you guess what Merrie Moo needs, because she has no clue?
Or will she surprise us all and remember what to do?

An entertaining read-aloud picture book that is perfect for a shared reading experience. 

Merrie Moo is a fantastic and fun way to introduce the concept of time to young children.

About The Author

Gary Lonesborough.png

Rosie Schonell is a teacher turned author with a passion for children’s literature. 


She has a Bachelor of Arts with a Diploma of Education from Macquarie University and a Master of Special Education from the University of Sydney. She has taught English at all levels in schools and specialised in teaching students with learning difficulties. 


Rosie also volunteers teaching literacy skills to disadvantaged children and adult migrants. She firmly believes that learning to read ignites one’s imagination, fills you with knowledge and opens doors in the real world. Rosie’s debut novel is a middle-grade mystery called Breaking School Rules is Easy. Her upcoming children’s book Maggie Moo The Cow Who Forgot What To Do is a fun story about a friendly and forgetful cow. 


Rosie has adult children and lives with her husband, spending her time between Balmain and the Northern Beaches of Sydney. She enjoys pickleball, cold water swimming, outrigging and volunteers as a Crisis Supporter at Lifeline. 


You can usually find her in an ocean pool, a bookshop or reading.
