Synopsis

Holy cow! Up and down and round and round, in and out and all about--look who's on the run. Cow is doing lots of amazing and wonderful things, like skipping and whizzing and dancing and diving, but her biggest trick of all is teaching kids prepositions (like over and under) even as they're giggling with pleasure. Dazzling illustrations will make this a storytime favorite. A Selection of the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Two board books about opposites. The artwork attempts to illustrate the concepts, but is not always successful. For example, in the first book, Chicken is shown driving past "the BIG house" and "the small house," but the contrast looks more like "near and far." In the second book, the text reads, "Cow is skipping IN the puddle. OUT of the puddle," but in the pictures, the animal appears to be on and above the puddle. There is no cohesion in either book; neither has a story line to give it flow.
