Adventures Of Cow

Adventures Of Cow is a 2005 children's picture book by Lori Korchek.

Plot

A squish toy cow, travels in a yellow backpack. She asks various misidentified farm animals how to get home, because she is very confused and not really smart. Back home, she talks to her family which are a penguin doorstep, a hippo vase, and a vegetable brush. Her aunt, a vegetable brush, suggests that she write a book about her adventures. That causes the toy cow to become famous and appear on TV.

Reception

Carolyn Janssen, of School Library Journal, reviewed the book saying, "For children in the concrete stages of development, this book will be confusing, not funny. Other youngsters will just be bored." [School Library Journal; Jun2005, Vol. 51 Issue 6, p118-118, 1/5p] A Kirkus Reviews review says, "Preschoolers will delightedly roar out corrections--"Those aren't cats! They're geese!"--but Cow's decidedly skewed view of reality will engender hoots from any audience." [Kirkus Reviews; 5/1/2005, Vol. 73 Issue 9, p541-541, 1/5p]
