So you've been to the Fair and you're feelin' blue that it doesn't last year-round (or at least I am). Here's a fun solution: read! OK, sure, that's ALWAYS my solution, but it's a good one so I'm stickin' with it. I thought I'd share some fun picture books that go along with this year's Fair theme 'I herd it through the bovine.' Just like the Fair brings out the kid in you, these treats will be enjoyed by all ages (and species, if you'll note the photo below):
Moo Who? by Margie Palatini - Hilda Mae Heifer has lost her melodic mi-mi-moo. Does she mew, oink, or honk?
The Cow That Laid an Egg, by Andy Cutbill - Marjorie is an insecure cow who wishes she had some special talent. Then one morning something extraordinary happens.
Shamoo: A Whale of a Cow, by Ros Hill - Most cows live their lives in a pasture, but Shamoo years for the sea.
Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type, by Doreen Cronin - Farmer Brown's cows type all day, and leave him notes.
No Milk!, by Jennifer Ericsson - How a city boy coaxes milk out of the cow.
The Cow Who Clucked, by Denise Fleming - What's a cow to do when she lost her moo? Find it, of course.
Gloria the Cow, by Paul Maar - Gloria wants to be a star, but can she find an audience who will appreciate her voice?
The only thing missing is the smell of tater pigs!
