2.0 out of 5 stars nice but ..., February 1, 2000

By	"cybercowman" (France) - See all my reviews

This is a very nice book, full of great images. I have to say however that something really bothers me : "cow" tells children that bulls have horns, and cows don't. And that is absolutly false ! I tell you, my cow Daisy is really mad at the author and illustrator !

5.0 out of 5 stars What an incredible book!, January 24, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Dover, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cow (Hardcover)

A magnificent book! A magical book! A fantastic book! This book will tickle the "funny bone" of any young reader (not to mention any adults in the neighborhood) and provide them with all the information they ever wanted to know about one of Mother Nature's most amazing creatures. Kids will howl and grown-ups will bellow with delight at each reading of this fabulous book. This book is just too good to miss!
