What else can I say but ‘what a great way to teach young children about animals and the words connected to their movements.’
The pictures were great and I absolutely loved the one with the cow swimming.
This is a great point to the picture and talk book that children will enjoy learning from, and I can imagine parents testing their children after reading it about ‘what cows do? What snakes do?’ Etc
Overall I would say that this is a delightfully bright little children’s book, wh More...

This is a delightful children's book with a silly, simple story about animals. Did you know that cows can't jump but they can swim? And gorillas can't swim but can swing? The bright and playful illustrations are fun for everyone. Combined with the repetitive verse they offer teachable moments on every page. Little tots will enjoy learning to identify the animals and their special abilities.

This is a book that is meant to be shared. My favorite three year-old loved it and we've read More...

REVIEW BY MADISON, MY DAUGHTER (VERBATIM)

It’s funny because baby kangaroo has it’s eyes open on the first page and then the baby kangaroo falls asleep in the pouch and the mother doesn’t even notice.

MY REVIEW

Obviously the illustrations are what impressed my daughter the most.

A great book of compare and contrast on the abilities of many animals with a subtle touch of rhyming words.

The illustrations are cute and I enjoy seeing the canvas stitching More...

Big Kid Reaction: This is a fun book to read aloud and would be perfect for playtime when you want to sneak in reading and get the kids to burn a little energy. I liked the mix of animals, too, and even learned a few things.

Pros: Lots of movement and repetition will engage preschoolers and developing readers alike. The text is simple enough that preschoolers will "read" this independently, too.

Wow! I give this book 5 stars without hesitation! It is fun, funny, educational and has fabulous illustrations. On top of all of that, it sends a positive message to children. A definite must-read-to for small children, and a must-read for children a bit older and just learning to read. I hope to see more from Dave Reisman!

Cows Can't Jump is a spectacular story that is utterly enjoyable all the way through. It teaches kids an important lesson and is accompanied by super cute illustrations!! Definitely a must read bedtime story for children- I give it 2 thumbs up!

Review forthcoming.
