The Cow in Apple Time

by Robert Frost and Cleo Qian

Book Overview

Written in 1914, this work is a humorous ode to a headstrong Holstein who crashes through a stone wall into the apple orchard of a New England farm. Drawing on author's real-life experiences as a farmer, it tells his tale in rhyme and with a rhythmic syncopation in the style of early jazz. It is intended for children aged 4-8 years.

Animation artist turns illustrator

The poem is a bit of an odd duck for kids, since it describes the exploits of a drunken cow--but the illustrations should charm its intended audience. Dean Yeagle's designs for this book are animated, beautifully drawn and not at all serious. This book is a must-have for animators and collectors of cartoon art.
