Cows in the Kitchen

by June Crebbin, illustrated by Katharine McEwen

Walker Books. Picture, Young Reader. Paperback rrp $16.95


“Cows in the kitchen, moo, moo, moo.
Cows in the kitchen, moo, moo, moo.
Cows in the kitchen, moo, moo, moo.
That’s what we do, Tom Farmer!”

These words were beautifully recited back to me by my very excited six-year-old. After reading Cows in the Kitchen with his father the night before, he was only too happy to sing to me the words the following morning.

What a wonderful book to encourage a child to read. With bright, clever and funny illustrations on every page Cows in the Kitchen is a book to treasure. And there is even a “spot the mouse” amongst the cows, sheep, hens and ducks to keep young minds active.

Great stuff
