review 1: My son and I enjoyed this story about a cow's favorite food. The rhyming text of the book tells all about how the farmer takes care of the animals on his farm by feeding them the food they like best, hay for horses, slops for pigs and so on. There is a secret reason for the cow to like cookies though, which is revealed at the end of the book (my hubby thought it was a little weird). Great illustrations by Marcellus Hall definitely enhance this fun and silly read-aloud story. Recommended for ages 2-6, 4 stars.

Then discuss if there were any surprises. (The cow loved cookies and the duck ate quackers--ha!) less
