GEORGE WASHINGTON'S COWS

Anthropomorphic animal lovers will flock to hear how it was that George Washington became the first president of our country. David Small takes a tongue-in-cheek look at Washington's plunge into politics in GEORGE WASHINGTON'S COWS, a rhyming picture book. The long and purposeful mooooooo of one of these cows opens this read-along, followed by the plodding hoof beats of those pampered cows climbing the stairs to their upstairs room where they will be dressed in lavender gowns, sprayed with cologne, and fed scones and jam. Stir in a serving of cheerful music, the hooting of an owl, the tinkle of china, and the snorting of Washington's helpful hogs and the bleating of his learned sheep, and this will be a favorite read-along during February and all through the year.
