One Day Mrs. Wow and the Cow....

My son loved the rhymes and artwork in this book. He could read it all by himself at a young age and loved the repetition of rhymes. The funny ending of the story pleased him so much that he enjoyed reading it again and again. It's another classic and memorable beginner type book.
