The Cow That Was the Best Moo-ther

32 pp. | HarperCollins | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-166472-4 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Russell Ayto. On the heels of The Cow That Laid an Egg comes this offering, in which cow Marjorie enters her daughter Daisy--a chicken in the eyes of everyone but her--in the farm's cows-only "Beautiful Baby Contest." The illustrations of bulbous-eyed characters are played for laughs, but the message of parental love, regardless of shared genetics, is unexpectedly moving.
