Do Cows Meow

Lift the flaps to find the sounds animals make.

A humorous picture book filled with wordplay and mixed-up onomatopoeia, Cow Says Meow features bold graphic art and silly animals. Cow says . . . Meow! Cat says . . . Neigh! . . . or does it? With bold graphic art and a punny narrator, this zany picture book is full of outrageously mixed-up animal sounds. Puns and wordplay will leave readers giggling through the roller-coaster of sounds all the way to the final pages featuring the correct animal noises. Cow Says Meow is a perfect read aloud for home, the classroom, or anywhere else, and will delight fans of Cece Bell’s I Yam a Donkey and David Ezra Stein's Interrupting Chicken.

Presents questions about the sounds different animals make such as "Do goats growl?" and "Do hamsters hoot?" with the answers hidden beneath the flaps.

The horse loves hay, the chickens need feed, the geese munch on corn, the hogs devour slop, the dog eats treats, but the cow loves…COOKIES? With an original twist on the ordinary barnyard book, the latest read-aloud from bestselling author Karma Wilson is a clever exploration of a curious incident on the farm. As the farmer makes his rounds each day, most of the animals chew on the foods a young reader would expect. But when it’s time to feed the cow, she feasts on a special treat. Wilson’s signature style and Marcellus Hall’s spirited watercolors will delight children on and off the farm—because when it comes down to it, who doesn’t love milk and cookies?

Provides emerging readers with multiple opportunities to practice reading high-frequency words used in simple text.

A noisy rooster causes a disgruntled cat to cast a magic spell that creates confusion among the other farm animals.

Lift the flaps to find the sounds animals make.

A string of comically stylized animals greet each other in masterfully rhyming couplets—an owl’s “hoo” is answered by a cow’s “moo”; a crow’s “caw” is returned with a donkey’s “hee-haw”—all leading up to the “hi!” and “good-bye!” of a human toddler and his mom! The first in a brand-new board book series on animal (and human) first words by award-winning author and illustrator Ethan Long.
