Customer Reviews

One of our favorite cow books!

We love all the Cow books--I might even love them more than my 3 kids, ages 9,7 and 5! This book covers something we all need to be reminded about--judging people when we don't know them, judging by appearance, or by listening to what other people say about someone and not making our own decision about them... it definitely got me right where it hurt! It's not often you can read a book aimed at young children, and you get a surprise "sermon" in there for yourself! The Cow series is definitely not about some boring, simple farm animals. They are fun little characters!

Well written, good values, a loveable heroine...

This is a favorite in our home. Reading is an important part of our day and like many parents, I've had to suffer through repeated readings of a story that charmed my child but bored me to death. This book is well-written (what a concept!) and a joy to read over and over and over and...well, you get the picture. It offers simple yet important lessons young children can understand ("don't judge others simply by how they look" and "God doesn't make mistakes in how we're made") and offers parents a chance to have an age-appropriate conversation with their little ones about people who look or act differently, what can happen if you wander away from home, and how to handle scary situations (like getting lost). It also offers parents the chance to discuss the nature of God in a way that's very easy to understand. Cow learns that even when she's lost, God is with her and most importantly, no matter how many friends God brings her, He is the best friend!This is truly one of the best books gracing my son's book shelf. Buy it now!
