Book Overview

by Lana Button (Author), Alice Carter (Illustrator)


Parents Magazine Parents(R) Approved! A stuffed-up
cow, a rogue bedsheet, and a chant-able silly refrain. A quintessential
read-aloud for a lively story time, now available in board book format.

Poor cow woke up with such a bad cold that every "moo" comes
out as "boo!" When she stumbles into a sheet hanging from the clothesline, her
barnyard friends mistake her for a spooky ghost and run away. But the cow is
able to bravely turn this misunderstanding to her advantage when a truly scary
intruder arrives at the farm...In The Cow Said BOO!, author Lana Button
delivers a silly read-aloud for a not-so-spooky Halloween, or any time of year.
Written in playful rhyme that will shine at an interactive story time, the text
includes a repeated refrain that will have listeners chiming in with many an
exuberant, "The cow said, BOO!" Watercolor illustrations by Alice Carter catch
both the eye and the heart with their humor and energy. Closing scenes of the
animal friends nursing the cow back to health bring a tender lull to the
riotous story time--until a final twist dissolves the peace in giggles once
again.Don't miss the closing spread with illustrated hand- (and
paw!) washing instructions for chasing away colds.


"Button's rhyming text hits at just the right pace,
encouraging participation from little readers. Kids will love being in on the
joke that the cow isn't really a ghost...An infectious seasonal read-aloud."--Kirkus
