I started reading this and couldn't help but read it out loud. To my cats! Great illustrations, fun read aloud. Going to get it for my niece - I can imagine reading it over and over. (And I love cookies too.)

Fun, rhyming text with great illustrations, this one can be participatory because it repeats at the end of each section. It might be a little long for toddlers, but great for preschool or elementary story time.

My Kinders loved this one! They repeated "the cow loves cookies" with me as I read. Absolutely adorable. But also very very similar in story to Click Clack Moo. Even with the duck at the end. Interesting!

Karma Wilson nails it again!
I loved this whole book...I sat here reading it to myself, nodding as I got through each page, thinking to myself, "ok, this is cute, I dig it." And then I got to the last page and laughed out loud. Then I read it to my sister, and we got to the last page, and SHE laughed out loud.
This book rocks.

I first heard of The Cow Loves Cookies by Karma Wilson when it was short listed for a Cybils. When I saw it at the library, I had to check it out. I'm glad I did.
The book starts out with an adorable cover. There's the farmer holding a cookie behind his back. He has a sly look on his face. The cow is wagging her tail like a dog.
The book is for the most part a standard rhyming book about life on the farm. There are all the usual animals and where they live and what they eat and so forth. But there's this promise about a cow liking cookies that gives the whole book a sense of mystery.
At long last the truth behind the cookies is revealed and it's delightful. It's like a happy version of Click Clack Moo by Doreen Cronin. The farmer and the cow have a deal. They are partners in a little ruse that involves cookies.
For children just learning puns and jokes, the book ends with a groan worthy joke just for them.

Another hit by the author of Bear Snores On - but really, it looks and sounds much like the Click, Clack, Moo books as well.
Colorful, fun. Some predictable sequencing like in the House that Jack Built, so makes for appropriate audience participation.
