Millie Waits for the Mail (Hardcover)

by Alexander Steffensmeier (Author, Illustrator)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Millie is unlike most other cows.  She chews her cud and grazes in the fields with the others, but she doesn’t enjoy that nearly as much as she loves scaring the mail carrier.  It’s too bad the mail carrier doesn’t have as much fun each time Millie comes up with a new way to surprise him.  Who knew delivering the mail was going to be such a difficult job?

5.0 out of 5 stars Three Silly Chicks Review, January 27, 2008

By	Three Silly Chicks "www.ThreeSillyChicks.com" - See all my reviews

Oh, how we love a good barnyard book, and -- could it be? -- we may have found our favorite of all time in this winsome tale. Millie is a milk cow with a penchant for mischief: her favorite hobby is to scare the stuffing out of the poor mail carrier, resulting in a string of damaged deliveries to one irritated farmer lady. The bedraggled mailman finally comes up with an ingenious plan, but things quickly go awry, leading to a crazy chase scene that leaves everyone a little worse for wear. Will Millie redeem herself? Let's just say Millie's got a few surprises to deliver! (And while Millie may be the milk cow with the mostest, check out her chicken friends, who do their best to steal the show.)
