About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child needs a dose of pure, unadulterated silliness that cleverly masquerades as learning. If your child thinks nonfiction is boring or you're looking for a book to read aloud that will have the whole family laughing, this is a perfect choice. "Amazing Cows" is a parody of a science textbook, filled with completely absurd and made-up "facts" about the secret lives of cows, all presented with scientific gravity. Through Sandra Boynton's iconic, hilarious illustrations and witty text, the book celebrates joy, imagination, and the fun of being wonderfully weird. It’s ideal for early elementary readers who appreciate zany humor and can begin to grasp the concept of a parody, making it a delightful way to encourage reading for pleasure.
