About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Van Laan's chipper cumulative tale makes splendid use of repetition, both in the verses as well as in key words, and the result is irresistibly energetic. Priceman's witty watercolors underscore the story's verbal appeal through the distinctive black-and-white Holstein markings. Amusing to the eye and a treat for the ear . . . a rollicking read-aloud."--Publishers Weekly, Starred

"A humorous, whimsical story . . . told with wit and judicious use of rhyme and repetition. . . . The story begs to be shared aloud."--The Horn Book

"A lively cumulative tale. . . . Hilarious full-page illustrations are delightfully detailed and rush the exuberant action forward to its sensible, satisfying conclusion. . . . A pleasing romp."--School Library Journal

From the Inside Flap:

y, tiny boy to do when a big, big cow just won't stand still so he can milk her? Try, and try again!
