By Mary Ellen Jordan and Andrew Weldon

2014 CELI Children's Read Aloud Book Winner

A quirky, rhyming picture book about farm animals behaving badly before bedtime.

This is my cow, she's called Daisy. She should eat grass but she's too lazy. Instead she eats jelly on a spoon, all through the morning till late afternoon. This quirky, rhyming picture book about farm animals behaving badly will have children laughing and, eventually, lull them to sleep along with the tuckered-out animals.
