Illustrated by
Steve Gray.
Before Farmer McPeepers wakes up, his cows steal his glasses then take off for a day of recreation--swimming, skateboarding, catching a baseball game, and kicking up their hooves at a square dance. While tracking them down, the nearly blind farmer continuously mistakes his cows for humans. Although the exaggerated cartoon illustrations are funny, the slight joke gets old quickly.
