The Cow Loves Cookies by Karma WilsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great read aloud. Best for younger kids. Loved the rhythm of the story.
Similar to Click, Clack, Moo. Lots of rave reviews. I think this one is a winner and should definitely be on the list.
Be sure to read this one yourself. Available at LPL.
I have it on order.
Here is what SLJ says
School Library Journal (August 1, 2010)
PreS-Gr 1-As a farmer makes his daily rounds, readers learn what he feeds his animals and how often. "Whenever Farmer knows what the horse,/he feeds the horsey hay, of course./The horse just loves to nibble hay./He eats it every single day. " In a twist, readers are reminded after each animal's feeding, "But the cow loves cookies." As the cumulative story progresses, what each creature eats is repeated in successive fashion. "The geese munch corn; it tastes so fine./The hogs think slop is just divine./The dog adores his doggy treats./But Cow would rather eat things sweet.." The story ends with Farmer and Cow sharing cookies and milk. The cleverly rhyming text and pace of the story make it perfect for a read-aloud. The whimsical ink and watercolor illustrations add to the humor. An instant storytime crowd pleaser.-Sarah Polace, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma, OH Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
