I've done farms, and barnyard animals, and chickens, and I think even horses, but I don't think I've ever done cows before, so my cohort stepped into the gap with this riotous storytime. I think a pattern is emerging: she's way more comfortable and passionate about "funny" storytimes, and that's absolutely a perfect fit, because my sense of humor is a little... weird.
The Cow that Laid an Egg
Andy Cutbill, illustrations by Russell Ayto
ISBN: 9780061372957
Marjorie doesn't have any special talents, but if the chickens' plot goes to plan, she's going to be the most talented cow on the farm. Now there's all sorts of consternation: what exactly is going to hatch out of that egg?
Chicken, Pig, Cow and the Purple Problem
Ruth Ohi
ISBN: 9781554512195
When the girl made the pig and the chicken, she had the right colors, but when she made the cow, all she had for spots was purple clay. Cow doesn't match the pictures in the books, and heads out into the wild to sort herself out properly. Along the way she discovers things much more important than what color your spots are.
When Cows Come Home
David L. Harrison, illustrated by Chris L. Demarest
ISBN: 0563971437
A truly silly rhyming romp through cow-themed situations taken to extremes, and populated by blissfully dancing cows. Reminds me of a long version of Sandra Boynton's style of silliness.
