Disappointed after reading the reviews and then the book

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2015

Disappointed after reading the reviews and then the book. My granddaughter really likes cows and other animals, but so much time spent on the other animals ridiculing the "different" ones, I've only read it to her once without much interest on her part. It also made me feel like I had to explain the reason for the story. Hmmmm. Since the illustrations and limited vocabulary lean toward a young audience, I think this one misses the mark. Perhaps for early to mid-elementary age children to start discussion on tolerance, the point of the book, but lost on younger readers.

Great read aloud

Such a fun book! Great read aloud. As a teacher, I’m always looking for engaging and thoughtful books to read to my classes. This sweet book with an important message about differences is really sweet. I love to tell my classes that the cow and pig are bilingual!

Fantastic for pre-schoolers, pre-readers, and parents alike

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2014

This is such a charming book: it teaches the lesson to strive to learn and not give up. The fact that the cow and the pig get laughed at and get the last laugh is not mean-spirited in the least to me - it delivers the subtle message that people who are different can get through tough times and change opinions in the process. I hope the negative review doesn't deter others one bit from reading to any child. The lesson is delivered with humor.

Great to reinforce bi-lingual values, as others have said.

What's more, this book delighted my young children so much, they were motivated to try to sound out the strange words with me, as the cow and pig tried to learn their new sounds. M-oink! Love it so much.

Wonderful Book! One of my Son's Favorites!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2007

"The Cow That Went Oink" is a wonderful children's book that helps children appreciate and even celebrate their differences while getting a good laugh. This ranks as one of my son's favorite books.

The other barnyard animals laugh at the Cow because it can only say "oink" and laugh at the pig because it can only say "moo". The cow and the pig help each other learn to speak their "native languages" and in the process surpass the animals who have made fun of them.

I HIGHLY recommend this book for ANY child, but especially for children who are struggling with their differences in preschool and kindergarten.

Love this story

Love this story. It is just so sweet and so cute. No huge political or social messages, just a nice story for children about a cow who doesn't know how to "moo" and a pig that can not "oink." A favorite in our home.

I don't have first hand info on each of the four or five books I sent. I did hear that the beneficiary of the gift was able to read one or two of the books by himself, and the other books renewed his interest in reading. I'm happy to include this book in the selection. The beneficiary's mom was also happy to see the interest in reading.

Silly but sweet

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2008

My 2-year-old daughter now insists on this book every night at bedtime, and that is a rare occurrence for her. We first checked it out from the library, and after having to renew it twice, broke down and got our own copy. She loves to hear all the silly animal sounds, and I think that's the main hook for her, but the pictures are vivid and fun, too. It's also a fun read-aloud book, which is great when you're the parent who gets to read it over and over and over... :)

Good book

I had this book as a child and loved it so I got it my kids. They like the story but as an adult reading it, it does get a bit repetitive to say Oink and Moo so much haha
