K-3I Can Read Book series.
It's the farmer's birthday. Minnie plans to leave her gift--a cream puff--under his pillow, but Moo has nothing to offer. A chicken-sheep collision inspires Moo to knit the farmer a sweater--which is lumpy, sneezes, and moans. And where'd chicken Elvis go? The farmer doesn't know what's happening, but observant readers will. Zany illustrations and deadpan text combine for high absurdity.
