I thought that the cover of this book was cute and the idea/theme of the book is not one that you come across everyday. This book is about how a cow comes into a little boys bedroom at night and licks his hair so he ends up getting a "cowlick!" Not only does this happen to the little boy but it happens to his two brothers too! The ideas and sentences within the book are okay and it has some funny main characters such as a cow but overall I did not love this book. Cowlicks are cute because this i...more
At first glance you may be very intrigued by this book. It looks like it is going to be very cute. I did think that the ending was cute, however I thought that parts of it were not as enjoyable. Parts of the book were very rhythmic while others were not and I felt that it was a little bit distracting at times. The book talks about all these animals coming in to a little boy’s bedroom and licking their hair and that is how your hair does the crazy “stick-up hairdo.” While this is a cute idea, I w...more
Ha ha! A funny story behind what happens to the little boys' hair in the night. I enjoyed the rhyming and the illustrations. And this would be really good with toddlers, only I tend to get the younger end (some of them pre-toddlers!) and wonder how they'll do with the length. It's worth a try though!
5/18/10 & 5/20/10 The length was fine for the toddlers. As long as there were parents to do the actions with them (which we had with the Tue. group and not so much with the Thu. group), it worked...more

Recommends it for:
all my friends with kids and those with kids in their future
For all of my friends with kiddos: This book is fantastic. Quinn laughs so much when we read this. He LOVES it. We checked it out from the library and we are going to have to go and buy one because once we have to take this back he will be very sad.
This book was REALLY CUTE... about kids who are asleep and a cow comes into their house and licks their hair... making a cowlick. I love that hair-sticking-up-in-the-front look, like Jimmy Neutron. SO ADORABLE. :) Plus, I loved the illustrations.
This was an adorable book of how a boy gets his cowlick. It shows how a cow literally comes to his room each night and licks his hair. Not only does this happen to him, it also happens to his two brothers. It includes great illustrations.
If the text and rhyme scheme were a little tighter this would be an awesome book. It's such a funny idea, a cow coming in the night to bestow that unmanageable straight up from the scalp look. Damn you cow, stop lickin my bangs!
This would be perfect to use when always hearing the question why? The students were given a cow face paper and different paper to make a cowlick for their cow. Four years after doing the project, students still remember!
This had a really cute story to it, but I'm not sure the younger group understood what was happening. I loved the dramatic ending though. I would use this again if I had a large group of boys in attendance.
Ever wake up and wonder what in the world happened during the night to make your hair look the way it does? Perhaps a cow is sneaking into your room at night lol (: Cute book and great illustrations!
Loved this book! Creative explanation for children with cowlicks or crazy bed head. This book could become a favorite and a household character, meaning the cow that comes at night!
An imaginative look at how a cow comes during the night to give each child's hair a cow kiss.

Did you ever wonder why your hair is so messed up in the morning? This book gives you the answer. I will use this book for storytime. It has nice large pictures and a funny story.
Super funny story of how we get bed-head. I love that now whenever someone in our family has crazy hair my 3 year old starts singing about how they have a cowlick!
This adorable story - "telling" where cowlicks come from - is one of our favorites! It was written by a dear friend of the family, for her sweet nephews! ♥
Have you ever wondered where a cowlick comes from. This little book delightfully explains where you get that "bed head" cowlicks from.
Great fun, rhyming book about how you get cowlicks! Clever read. Could talk to the students about fiction and non-fiction.
Read this @ library story time yesterday. It's a really cute book, especially if you know a kiddo with a cowlick!
Cute, short poem with a humorous explanation and illustrations for the cowlicks some people have in their hair.
My kids LOVE this book!!! Such a fun way to think of how they get messy hair in the morning.
Adorable! Few words and expressive pictures make this an excellent story time book.
You'll instantly relate to this book if you have a ton of cowlicks as I do.

Do you have a cowlick? Read this book and you'll soon know why. Lots of kids with unruly cowlicks could relate to this book, and most everyone really liked it. Votes for this book are: Really liked-235, just okay 9, didn't like 4. I really enjoyed the pictures, the cow was especially appealing, and everyone laughed at who got it in the end (make sure you turn to the very last page).
Rhyming text and colorful pictures tell the story of a loving, yet sneaky, cow that comes into the bedroom of two young brothers and kisses the tops their heads. Resulting in a funny hairdo-- a cowlick. I think that this book is adorable, I especially like the picture of the family dog on the back page, the cow got him too.
