From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. This rhyming story of what happens when too many cows come home--not to a barn, but to a real house--is a nifty twist on holiday books. Using pastel chalk, Chapman gives barnyard bovines a homey, humorous look, decking them out in overalls, jumpers, and, for one baby calf, jammies. The story moves from greeting at the door on a winter's night, with chalky mounds of snow and a sky dotted with stars, to cows' chowing down and then joining in a Cowpoke Polka. The crisis comes when Moosha's hooves get stuck in the floor (the very spot where the Christmas tree should stand), and the others--cows, horses, goats, pigs, and even a tractor--work to pull Moosha out. Their failure leads to a new Christmas tradition--decorating the cow. Giddy, goofy fun. Connie Fletcher

Very cute and refreshing,
This review is from: When Cows Come Home for Christmas (Paperback)
Bright and cheerful illustrations and a really funny plot. Most holiday books are so predictable -- not that that's bad! But this one was just plain refreshing. It will make you laugh with your kids every time you read it.

You will not be able to stop laughing when you read this with your child. The story is great, the pictures are bright, funny & beautiful. My 4-year-old daughter loves it, as do I. We look forward to Xmas just so we can read it "in season."

This review is from: When Cows Come Home for Christmas (Hardcover)
I recently bought this for my three year old. She loves it. The illustrations are wonderful-she finds them very interesting and the verse (rhyme scheme) is great - not forced at all. An easy book to read out loud with a cute plot. It is a fairly quick read (I often look for those to read at night). Overall, great quality Christmas book.
