Customer Reviews

Fantastic book, loved by preschoolers, toddlers, and ME!

I am former preschool teacher and borrowed this book from the library-just grabbed it off the shelf. My class loved this book and I would read it almost SIX times a day until it had to be returned. When the class was completely chaotic, this book would bring order to the room. Even after we returned the book, we would still recite the words. I read this book to my two-year old at home too and he also loved it, although he was not as enthralled as the older chilldren. I find myself singing the book while riding in the car to my children! I will definitely be buying it for my children and all other children that I have to buy gifts for!

Exceptional Book!

I bought this book for my grandson who is 17 months old and he loved it from the first day. When he is ready to read, he runs to the book shelf saying, "moo, moo, moo". I sing the book to him to the tune of "Shoo Fly Shoo." The illustrations are very bright and attractive as well. Dylan and I highly recommend this one!

Cows in the Kitchen

This is a great book for kids of preschool to young elementary age. I haven't read it to a kid yet that hasn't laughed out loud at the rhyming text and vibrant illustrations. Try singing the book to the words of "Skip to My Lou" for an extra frill. My kids love it and yours will too!

Maria-age 13 months knows all the animal sounds.

Our daughter Maria loves this book. Her Dad reads this book to her every night. She has begun to make the animal sounds as soon as he calls out the name of each animal. Just a great book.

Tom Farmer sleeps while animals destroy his house

My 21-month son is obsessed with this book! I've renewed the library copy many, many times. He laughs at the glee with which the animals break the crockery and climb on the furniture, but best is when they jump on Tom Farmer and his chair falls backwards. Bright colors, simple rhythmic text--this is a wonderful book well worth buying.
