review 1: I love Jan Thomas' books. This is a fabulous, short choice for the birthday-theme storytime. And I love the duck. I couldn't help feeling sorry for the cake makers at the end, but I did like their solution. I think the preschool crowd will get the humor. Toddler probably would, too. And any time I can read a book loudly and a bit obnoxiously, well. Who can pass that up? :-)9/26/12 & 9/27/12: A great opener for the birthday-theme ST. The kids loved the pictures. Of course. They are fabulous. And they loved the turnip part. And got the ending. Very fun to read aloud, even to slightly smaller groups than I've been used to.
review 2: Today is Cow's birthday! Pig and Mouse decided to make Cow the best birthday cake ever. They mix the ingredients for the cake and Duc... morek wants to add a turnip. Next, they mix it all together with... a turnip Duck exclaims, but no they mixed it with a spoon. They then put it in the oven and Duck wants to put the turnip in the oven too. Then Mouse and Pig ice and decorate the cake and on top put candles, but Duck wants to put the turnip ontop instead. When Cow comes they wish her a great big happy birthday as Mouse holds the cake and Duck holds the turnip. Cow asks if that's what she thinks it is... a turnip!! Cow instantly eats the turnip and thinks it was the best birthday ever! This book shows three friends trying to prepare a nice cake for their friend cow's birthday. However, Duck knows his best friend loves turnips and wants to add it to the cake. Although Mouse and Pig don't listen to Duck, Duck never gives up and ended up being the one that knew Cow best. less
