Synopsis
'Tis the night before Christmas and Elwood and his family are snug at home enjoying video games, TV, and a microwave meal. Suddenly, a strange mooing comes to their ears. Flinging open the shutters, they're amazed to discover a sky full of udders! Down the chimney come the Santa Cows. With dewy eyes like Liz Taylor's and radiant smiles, the cows bear wondrous gifts for one and all. It's a Christmas the family will never forget.

From Publishers Weekly
As this offbeat parody of "The Night Before Christmas" opens, the family is enjoying a Christmas feast of pizza, popcorn and microwaved eel and clam cakes: "When all of a sudden, not the sound of reindeers, / But the mooing of Santa Cows came to our ear. / So we ran to the windows and opened the shutters. / We threw up the blinds to a sky full of udders." The Santa Cows, with eyes "like Liz Taylor's," are coming and bringing with them a beautiful tree, a concert of carols and equipment for a Christmas Day baseball game. Lane's warm, slightly fuzzy illustrations, full of strange details and odd knickknacks, make this wacky fantasy seem possible, as they did in The Cherry Migration. At less than half the length of Moore's original, the story will leave readers who appreciate its irreverent humor wanting more but pleased with a refreshingly different Christmas offering. Ages 7-up.

From Kirkus Reviews
In a whimsical parody of Moore's ``A Visit from St. Nicholas,'' Mom narrates; the six kids are eating junk food and watching three TVs when eight red-capped cows come down the chimney to sing carols and bring presents--baseball equipment for an all-night game between cows and family. There are plenty of amusing details here, both in the spritely verse and in the mock- earnest pictures of the placid bovines and of a home furnished in ``cute'' souvenir-shop decor. Not essential, but pleasingly silly. (Picture book. 6-10) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
