Synopsis
A boy's imaginative fantasies about cows run wild at bedtime, but Mom helps put things in perspective.
Henry looks out the window to check for cows because he is afraid that one night a cow might come right in through his bedroom window. Mom reassures him: they live on the third floor of an apartment building; a cow could not get in very easily. But Henry disagrees--he's sure cows love crashing through windows, and he can think of many ways a cow could get in: dressing up as a pizza deliver person, walking a tightrope from the building near by, or sneaking up the wall! With a little bit of logic, Mom finds a way to cure Henry of his cow problem.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1?Henry Williams's bedtime fear is that a cow will come in his bedroom window on the third floor of his city apartment building. His mother's attempts to relieve his anxiety are matched by his imaginative reasons as to how the bovine could succeed. For instance, the animal might be disguised as a window washer. As their conversation progresses, Henry's mother promises to leave the light on and her door open so she will hear a cow come in. With this sign of support, the little boy begins to think a little more rationally and finally falls asleep. His vivid imagination is reflected in the bright watercolor illustrations drawn in a slightly distorted style and surrounded by a border of black and white, matching the word "cow" whenever it appears in the text. Each of Henry's zany rationales is shown in a humorous way. An upbeat, offbeat conversation-starter about fears.?Cheryl Cufari, N.A. Walbran Elementary School, Oriskany, NY
