A Cow in the House was my favorite book when I was a toddler. I am much, much older now, have read countless books over the course of my life, and am highly educated. This book remains my favorite of all time and it is the one that I chose to give my granddaughter as her first reader. Life's most important lesson - the one that would put an end to war - is contained in this wonderful story about a poor farmer who is simply looking for a little more quiet in his humble farmhouse. The story and title have changed ever so slightly over the past sixty years. Long ago the same farmer was looking for a little bit more room in the same farmhouse but the storyline along with it's important message is identical. I still have my copy of "A Cow in the House," complete with my name written in crayon on the inside over. This is a fun story that any parent or grandparent would love experiencing with their child. I certainly did with my children and now my grandchildren. The book never gets old and neither do the happy discussions that follow.
"Cow" is a cute story that is great for early readers with repetition that is fun to read. My kids liked it!
If your child or Grand child loves cows as mine does then he or she will love this book. My Grandson just loves cows & beginning to read, he was very excited that he had a book that he could read by himself & it was about cows. Very cute & fun book , pretty hilarious I laughed myself when he read it, fun book, Grandson is 5 years. Easy reader. cute illustrations.
