Cows in the Kitchen

The cows are in the kitchen, the ducks are on the dresser, the pigs are in the pantry, the hens are on the hatstand, the sheep on the sofa. While the farmer snoozes in the haystack, the animals are having a ball, in his farmhouse!

June Crebbin taught school before retiring in order to devote herself entirely to writing. She says, "While I was visiting the preschool-aged children at the school where I used to teach, they were singing a version of 'Cows in the Kitchen.' I thought it was so much fun that it inspired me to write my own!"

Katharine McEwen recently graduated from a three-year course in illustration. "What I like about this story," she says, "is the mischievous nature of all the animals. I loved painting the chaos they caused, especially in the final pages."
