A Particular Cow



A perfect rollicking read for the 3-7 year old, full of ridiculous antics from a very careless cow!

'A read-aloud gem.' Publishers Weekly


When a particular cow goes for her particular morning walk, usually nothing happens. Until one particular Saturday . . .

Young children will love following along as the cow's comical chaos leads her through a whirlwind of adventures involving dogs, a seaside wedding, and a wild sailboat ride.

Prepare for giggles and gasps as unexpected twists show that even the most ordinary walk can lead to extraordinary surprises. Mem Fox's clever repetition and a delightful rhyme keep the story engaging, while Terry Denton's lively illustrations add to the comic joy.

Perfect for animal-loving little ones seeking laughter and fun!
