What happens when the cows sneak up behind Farmer and steal his keys? They go on a cattle drive, of course! A beautifully-illustrated, perfectly-rhyming tale with all the hilarious twists and turns expected in a Karma Wilson book. Full of vivid word pictures and fun plays on words, everyone will want to drive-just remember to remind your toddler that it's not okay to joyride!

Readers will also enjoy Wilson's Hilda Must Be Dancing and Never, Ever Shout in a Zoo.

We have several of Karma Wilson's books and this one is one of her best. My 6 1/2 year old son isn't a reader and it is tough to find books that he enjoys, but he loves this book. We take turns acting out different sections and doing funny voices for the different characters. My 2 year old daughter asks for it too and I find myself reading it over and over to them. My favorite part is that I enjoy reading it over and over again. It is very cute and very fun!

fun book - 3 yr old loves cows! Laughs out loud when I shout the words - "Sakes Alive..." Am a fan of Karma Wilson books. Funny and enjoyable story.

Our family loves this book, about two crazy cows who steal farmer's keys and drive off to town. The illustrations are great, and we love the rhyming-it makes it so easy for my 3 year old daughter to "read" along with me when she sees the pictures. I bought extra copies to give to friends.

"Sakes Alive! A Cattle Drive" is the 3rd book I have purchased by Karma Wilson. We also have "Bear Wants More" and "A Frog in a Bog", which are both favorites of my 19 month old son. I have found all 3 of these books to be witty and fun (which makes reading them over and over a lot easier!). "Sakes Alive!" is about cows that steal the farmer's keys and drive into town (hence "A Cattle Drive"). It is amusing and the illustrations are colorful. My son and I recommend!

The children's book was bought as used but was in better condition than many books I've seen in book stores for sale! Thank you!

This is a great book for kids. My daughter is 5 and wants to read it frequently.

Our family enjoys this simple little (short) book with a play on words. Wonderful illustrations, good for 2-5 year olds.

My nephew has several of the "Bear" books but for his 4th birthday I thought I would try something different. He loved this one! It got big laughs the first time through but I knew it was a hit when the next day after having it read to him many times he started pretending he was on a "Cattle Drive!"

Delightful experience for child and adult reader. The illustrations add to the fun.
