A city boy has a great deal of trouble coaxing milk out of a dairy cow
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
A city boy tries to coax, cajole, coerce, and command the milk out of a dairy cow -- but no milk! As tempers flare, the pair finally arrives at a creamy compromise. "Perfect for a read-aloud.... The jolly refrain will be anticipated by children, who will have fun joining in.... Illustrations...are bold and vibrant, yet expressive and rich in subtle detail. An enjoyable story that will be asked for again and again." --School Library Journal.
``A dairy cow. A city boy. A silver pail. A wooden stool''- -everything but the expertise. Result? ``No milk''--not in response to a pat or a kiss, food or a joke, entertaining tricks or anger. At last, the placid cow grows impatient with the boy's obtuseness; and when she stands over the pail, the boy realizes what he should do. The circumstances are so implausible that they may amuse knowledgeable children--and even some city kids--with their exaggeration, but the story is most effective as a parable. The futility of inappropriate efforts makes an obvious subtext to the succinct quatrains; children will also enjoy chiming in with the reiterated ``But no milk!'' Making her first US appearance, Eitan--an Israeli who has been nominated for the Andersen Award- -provides freely rendered illustrations in pastel and gouache, with bold designs, vibrantly expressive figures, and brilliant colors accented with dramatic black (especially the formally dressed little boy's suit). A fine debut for Ericsson, who's especially fortunate in her illustrator. (Picture book. 3-8) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
