This third book featuring Farmer Greenstalk and his family naturally begins with trouble: the car won't start. Not to worry; six exuberant cows helpfully "rescue" the family, ensuring everyone has fun at the county fair. Watercolor and pencil illustrations provide the story's forward thrust (the cows virtually run right off the pages) and keep lively pace with the humorous text.
