The reader goes on a journey in the car past a whole lot of cows. They are unusual cows, and many are doing funny things like cutting the grass or playing baseball.
Cows are an endless source of mooing in our house. Very page was accompanied by several moos. Very cute pictures, with a simple storyline. This makes a funny and quick read.

In a picture book that seems inspired by children’s literature classics, a child in a car see cows of different colors engaged in an unusual variety of activities, all of which are described in a textual style imitating P.D.

This is a fun, rhyming book about various things seen on a car trip, primarily cows. It's a bit silly, but the bouncy narrative and colorful illustrations are entertaining for young children. It's a good book for beginning readers and our youngest really liked it.

Fun book for learning colors using cows that are out in the fields, playing and doing things that people do.
This is my two-year old daughter's MOST FAVORITE book right now. When you sit back and read it, there should be no question why, either: repetitive words and phrases, vivid and colorful illustrations, funny scenarios, a quick tale of an exciting trip, and COWS! If I had a quarter for every time my daughter has come to me and said, "Read da bow-wow cows, pwease," I would be a rich woman indeed! If you have small children and have not yet read this book to them, please...make it a point to do so....more
