The Cow That Laid an Egg by Andy Cutbill

In the story of “The Little Red Hen” by Paul Galdone, cows are portrayed as lazy and unhelpful animals.

If we had to single out five books with important life messages that children can learn from cows, these might be the books: 1. From cows in books, we can sometimes learn how to behave and sometimes how not to behave but in any case, they are gentle teachers. These benevolent creatures spark readers’ imaginations and teach them important life lessons and cultural values. Cows are popular characters in children’s literature, especially in picture books, novels, and even folk tales. It would be a good way to teach students to predict what will happen in the book. By reading the title, the students could come up with different ways for the book to end or what could happen throughout the book.Cows as main characters in children’s booksĮven though most young readers don’t really have the opportunity to meet and see cows up close due to living in urban areas, they can at least see them up close in picture books and read about them in funny and educational stories. Based off the title of the book, the students could predict what is going to happen and then decide if it could actually happen or if it is something that the author made up.

This book would be useful when teaching children about what is real or made up. The children will enjoy looking at the pictures while trying to read the story. I believe the children will enjoy the way that the story ends. This story is meant to entertain the students because they know that cows do not lay eggs. Review by Sarah Custard: I believe this is a good book to have around the classroom, even if the children are not yet capable of reading it by themselves.

The reviewers enjoyed the cartoon looking images and the way that they are set up in a collage.

The reviewers agree that this book is very comical and that the children will enjoy the fact that a cow lays an egg. Summary of Professional Reviews: The reviews that I found did not seem to explain how they felt about the book as much as they seemed to summarize what had happened. The chickens on the farm come up with a plan to make Marjorie feel more special, but it does not go the way that they expected. Summary: Marjorie, the main cow/character, did not feel special because all of the other cows could do handstands or ride bicycles.
