Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2. This entry in the familiar beginning-to-read series follows the rhyming adventures of Beth the Cow. She and her bird companion fly off in a hot-air balloon, inadvertently collecting items as they bump and thump past a fisherman, a plane, a house, an apartment, a baseball game, etc. The silly story line and cartoon illustrations are just average fare. Though not written for beginning readers, Paul Brett Johnson's The Cow Who Wouldn't Come Down (Orchard, 1993) is a delightful nonsensical flying cow adventure; buy it if you don't own it and save your easy-reader budget for better titles.?Gale W.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun, fast paced book - a delight, April 19, 2002

This review is from: Come Down Now, Flying Cow! (Beginner Books(R)) (Hardcover)

Sent to us as a gift and sitting on our book shelf, our daughter discovered this book by herself. It has now become a favorite of hers, wanting us to read it along with her other favorites almost every night. She is only 19 months old but enjoys the pictures and saying "cow" along with us. The illustrations are brightly colored and appealing. The text is simple and the story is entertaining. I would recommend this book to any parent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun & light-hearted book that your toddler will love., May 24, 1999

Come Down Now, Flying Cow!, is a funny, fast and entertaining book. My 2yr old has loved this book since I first read it to her. The illustrations are cute, and the dialogue is simple enough that your child can learn the "chorus" very quickly.

Definitely a recommended buy. I have bought it for many of my friend's children.

My 4 year old son loves this book! It's one of our favorite bedtime stories. I discovered this book a year ago at our local library and my son, who was three at the time asks me to get it every time we go there and we go a lot. So I finally bought it and it's still a part of our bedtime routine except now he "reads" it to me. He finds Bird and Cow hilarious and he points out all the different objects they pick up at the end of the book. Highly entertaining and I definitely recommend this book for small children.
