Synopsis
Buttermilk Hollow is about to become the next victim of big business. People are moving away from the sleepy town, and the farmers, with Mayor Clabber’s encouragement, are thinking about selling their land to a factory. If only the town had a fairy godmother, Farmer Blue wistfully wishes to his cow, Pixie. The next day, dairy products pop up in the most unusual spots—under pillows, out of the sky, and in the shape of elegant Swiss cheese formal wear. As the mysterious gifts continue, the "For Sale" signs disappear and the townspeople celebrate their dairy windfalls. But who is the fairy godmother? This delicious picture book celebrates the power of bovine magic with sunny illustrations and a delightful surprise ending.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-The town of Buttermilk Hollow is in a bad way. The young folks are leaving, and the local dairy farms face being overrun by a toothpick company that wants to build a factory. Farmer Blue declares that what the town needs is a fairy godmother. Soon thereafter, strange and magical things begin to happen: Little Annie Colby loses her tooth and awakens to a tub of frozen yogurt under her pillow; Jenny Tilsit wishes for a new gown for the Dairymen's Ball and one made of Swiss cheese appears. Farmers begin to take down their "For Sale" signs, the young decide to stay put, and the mayor is beside himself. How will he get rich if he can't sell his land? He sends the sheriff to investigate, leading readers on a funny expedition to solve the dairy-products-everywhere mystery. The fairy turns out to be Farmer Blue's Jersey cow wearing a pink tutu and riding a bicycle. Readers will delight in the frolicsome humor of cheese turning up in the strangest places. The funny, spirited illustrations, well executed in watercolors, will make children chuckle, especially the one of the farmer talking to his attentive brown cow, Pixie. Large enough for reading aloud, and well suited to doing so.
