A Particular Cow

First graders particularly liked this tale of a cow taking her usual Saturday stroll. As the hilarious events unfold, critters large and small join in the fun, adding their own humorous commentary. Our six and seven year olds enjoyed the cartoony watercolor and ink illustrations, and noticed the foreshadowing of each upcoming accident-- from bloomers, to brides, to boats-- through visual clues found at the page's edge. These young reviewers recommend this title as a readaloud for grades K and 1, and encourage the author to write a sequel with more mammals contributing to the mischief!
