Lazy Daisy, Cranky Frankie

(3) PS Illustrated by Andrew Weldon. "This is my cow, / she's called Daisy. / She should eat grass, / but she's too lazy." Daisy is one of four prima donna farm animals (she's spoon-fed jelly) indulged by the narrator, an amiable, unseen farmer. The cartoony illustrations of the preening animals, including "busy" dancing chicken Lizzie, who wears purple underpants, are as funny as the premise.
