by Tom Dunsmuir I love silly picture books. The more they make my daughter laugh, the more I love them. You Can't Milk A Dancing Cow was a three giggler in our house. Farmer Picket's wife clearly needs a hobby, so she's making clothes. She makes her husband more overalls than he could possibly wear, then turns her skills toward the poor naked animals. Unfortunately, dressing farm animals completely distracts them from giving milk, laying eggs, crowing, or doing other important farm work. She runs her sewing machine completely to pieces, but when the farmer gives her a new direction for her creativity, no one's farm will ever be the same. The lively illustrations are funny (and just a bit creepy with all the pop-eyed humans) as the long-suffering farmer deals with the endless changes in his life. There are absolutely no life lessons in this one, but plenty of laughs; it's a great book to share with a group. Once you've seen cows and horses dance, you'll never be the same. |
