The Cow Loves
Cookies is a sweet picture book from author Karma Wilson. Karma Wilson is already a favorite at our house. Her Bear Snores On series is in high rotation
at our house and is one of the books that Lil Guy has decided sounds best when
read by his father. This is all the
better for me as listening to someone else read the story is relaxing and
fun. I wasn’t sure what to think about Wilson’s new book, but I was pleasantly surprised by the cute story about a
farmer and his cow who loves cookies.
The story is
set on a farm with all of the usual cast of barnyard characters. Each animal is introduced by tell what farmer
feeds the animal. The list of animals
and feed are reviewed as you meet each new friend. The rhyme is refined with such a natural
cadence to the words, it’s clear that Wilson has a gift with language. It’s a joy to read books like this.
Lil Guy
enjoys this book and laughs at the funny parts too. The book is playful, yet calming, which is
perfect to hold the interest of a rambunctious toddler boy and also keep him
peaceful before bed. I would have easily
read 50 more pages in a style of writing like this. Karma Wilson has really impressed me with
this book and her Bear Snores On Series, it makes me want to read more from her
soon. Recommended for Toddlers, Preschoolers,
K-2, read-alouds and for independent reading in 1st and 2nd
grade.
We actually read this book first, and THEN discovered the Bear series. And now I read anything Karma Wilson I can get my hands on :) I haven't been disappointed yet.
ReplyDeleteWe recently picked up Don't Be Afraid Lil Pip by Karma Wilson too. I wasn't sure about the story but since I've read it 2 or 3 times a day for the last week, I've grown to love it. :)
