Bash and the Chocolate Milk Cows by Burton W. Cole
Beamer stays at his aunt’s farm for a week and Bash, his adventurous cousin, is full of schemes. This just happens to be the week of April Fool’s Day. Bash doesn’t just plan tricks for the actual day and Beamer joins in on some of the planning.
One crazy prank follows the next as the boys and some friends from the neighborhood move closer to their biggest trick of all—getting chocolate milk from the cows on the farm!
I have to confess that snagged my attention, even as an adult. How were they going to pull off that trick?
This is a fun novel for elementary children.
One of the grils is thinking about getting baptized as it talks about in the Farmin’ and Fishin’ Book (other folks call it a Bible) and it starts Beamer to thinking about it too.
The book is geared to children 8 – 12. As a chapter book, it also is a great book for parents to read to their children at bedtime.
I will look for more books by this author.
