FROM the MOUTHS of KIDDLE CRITers: a critique group “Cows can’t really do all that stuff,” says seven year old Hannah. Jake nods in agreement. “It’s just not true. Cows can’t walk on their legs. They can’t swim and they surely can’t skateboard!” Then he starts laughing. “But that’s why the story’s so funny.” Meg squints just like Farmer McPeepers. She’s thinking. Meg’s always thinking. Then she says, “Farmer McPeepers is silly. He should have put on his glasses. Then he would have seen his missing milk cows." “It’s only make believe,” says Lucy. “The author was using her imagination.” "The illustrator’s mind must have been going crazy,” added Roberto. “The pictures are wacky.” If you like FARMER MCPEEPERS AND HIS MISSING MILK COWS, you may also like the following books. THE COW WHO WOULDN’T COME DOWN by Paul Brett Johnson. BACK at the RANCH by Trinka Hakes Noble, illustrated by Tony Ross.
