Metropolitan Cow

I love this book! It is a great piece of literature that can teach all of us a valuable lesson.

We're all metropolitan cows in one way or another

Don't be fooled. One thinks this is a read just for children, but the message is powerful indeed.

go tim egan

this is a great book my favorite of them. I know him my parents are friend with him

Visually entertaining with a story and look we grew up with

Tim Egan's books always seem to tickle a spot in me that remind me of stories and great times I had growing up. My niece HAD to have this book read every night for several months. It became so much her favorite that she brought it to school for favorite author show and tell. Now, my 2 year old has discovered it with its array of comical animals. He always laughs, especially at the antics of the duck. A sure fire winner with great moral lessons.

Excellent Childrens Book With A good Moral to the Story

I read a story to my seven year old son every night. He has enjoyed Tim Egans stories the most of any book that we read. The Book is very well illustrated. It has a very good moral to the story and one any age person can learn from...
