The Cow That Laid an Egg

Editorial Reviews From Booklist Marjorie the cow feels just plain ordinary. She wishes she could ride bicycles and do handstands like the other cows, so the cunning chickens hatch a plan to help her out. The next morning, there's an almighty commotion in the barnyard; Marjorie has laid an egg. The other cows are convinced it's a trick-until Marjorie's egg cracks open and the newly hatched chick bellows "Moo." This is a great comic take on the Ugly Duckling tale, with double-page spreads in ink, watercolor, and pencil showing comical farm creatures and humans, who are every bit as ridiculous as the animals. The fun is in the details, especially the black Holstein-like patches on Marjorie's egg. Preschool-Grade 2. --Hazel Rochman Review 'The Cow That Laid an Egg... had me in stitches. More than just a silly story about a cow who thinks she's laid an egg, there's something deeper here about the idea of family, but it's so integral to the story that you dn't feel as thought you've been hit over the head with the sledgehammer of worthiness.' The Bookseller Praise for 'The Witch's Children' 'This book has been wonderfully designed and the text is in perfect harmony with the incredible funny illustrations' Booktrust Best Books Guide Praise for 'Tim, Ted and the Pirates' 'A witty and wholly satisfying fantasy that rattles along at a great pace.'
