The Big Fat Cow That Goes Kapow

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Terry Denton. Exploding cows begin and end these ten very short, kid-pleasing rhymed stories (which owe a debt to Dr. Seuss) for beginning readers. Slapstick humor and occasional edge (e.g., Mike's bike comes equipped with a long, nasty-looking spike) characterize the tales; the accompanying childlike black-and-white drawings add action and movement. Some type playfully shrinks and expands for emphasis.
