I Am Cow, Hear Me Moo!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gus Gordon. Cow Nadine claims fearlessness yet is secretly afraid of the dark woods. When challenged, she enters the woods anyway, discovering its delights, and her own bravery...until night falls. Playful mixed-media and collage illustrations outshine the rhyming narrative with a somewhat muddled message about fear: "She was scared of the woods. / But so what? She could smile / because nobody knew it."
