Mrs. Wow Never Wanted a Cow



A silly, rhyming, easy-to-read text paired with retro, classic art makes this Beginner Book feel right at home in Dr. Seuss's premier beginning reader line.

When a cow unexpectedly shows up on Mrs. Wow’s lawn, her lazy dog and cat think they should teach her their chores, so they can rest. They find out that the cow is no good at catching mice or being a watchdog. But Mrs. Wow knows something the cow can do, and it makes the chores worth it! The funniest rhyming bovine Beginner Book since Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.

About Steven Salerno's artwork in Coco the Carrot:
"Fabulous retro art, very 1950s (think Ludwig Bemelmans with fashion panache), makes every page a delight."
