Meet Doozy Moo, the World’s First Land-Loving Manatee

Doozy Moo, the world’s first land-loving manatee, lives in a mushroom with his pet turtle, Comet, on the tropical island of Fungi. Most manatees enjoy swimming in the ocean, but not Doozy Moo because he’s afraid of jellyfish.

Doozy Moo believes that you should love what you do, which is why he is a cabbage farmer. His favorite food is cabbage, so he gets to eat as much as he wants!

Stan is the web developer, video editor, and narrator of Doozy Moo stories.

Stan is a former kindergarten teacher and tutor who later became a work-at-home dad, homeschooling his daughter. Finding free, high-quality educational resources online was a challenge when he first started. He decided that his family would be better served by spending less time searching and more time creating! That decision helped lead to the creation of several educational websites featuring thousands of printable worksheets and workbooks. Now you know where the idea came from for Doozy Moo’s series of alphabet worksheets.

Stan is also the web developer, video editor, and narrator behind the Doozy Moo series. He brings related experience from his time working at several TV and radio stations in America. Stan is also the support representative for anything related to Doozy Moo. Please feel free to contact him with any questions you may have.
