Cow Knew How

In Cow Knew How by Tricia Gardella, children learn about the importance of working together to solve problems. When Magpie swoops down and tells Cow, "Today is Goldie's birthday," Cow stands and begins to think. In the orchard, Cow sees bees. In their conversation, the bees praise Goldie for taking such good care of them and wish to make her birthday special. However, they have no idea how. "Cow thought. Then, Cow knew how." In addition to telling the bees when and where to meet him, he tells them what to bring as well. Despite their curiosity, Cow has already left before they can get an answer from him about what makes their contribution so special. Cow is headed to the hen house to visit Hen. A similar encounter occurs with Hen. As Hen is about to ask her question, Cow has already departed to see Dog. Dog told Cow how wonderful Goldie was to him. Dog was unable to ask his question before Cow disappeared. Cow was met by a flock of birds in the pasture. Cow had the flock of birds contribute creatively. Seeing Horse was Cow's next stop. Cow is very sharp. Cow is off again, this time to the barn. Cat jumps out when cow reaches the barn. It seems that Cow has a different plan for Cat. There's something sneaky about Cow's plan. To make Goldie's birthday surprise, it took the bees, Hen, Dog,the flock of birds, Horse, and Cat! Let's not forget Magpie declared Goldie's birthday earlier in the day. Suddenly, Magpie begins singing Happy Birthday from high up in a tree, and all of the farm animals join in to surprise Goldie with the treat she loves most! To pull off Goldie's surprise, everyone had to work together.

This book is wonderful. It instills positive values. I would recommend it.
