A bit surreal & adventurous. I love that one of the cows is actually shown with its udder. And that theme about cows being beef is terrific... unlike Charlotte's Web and so many other stories, this one lays it out to the kid what it means to be a carnivore.
It is odd though that one of them wishes for thumbs, but thumbs are clearly shown pulling the purple dress out of the trunk....
I want to give it four stars for creativity & originality, but I just didn't actually enjoy it that much. I did like the ending though. And I did get a bunch from my library so, as long as they're here, I'll read 'em.
This seems to be the first, though it doesn't look like they need to be read in order. This one, at least, is avl. on openlibrary.org.

Currently my favorite children's book. You have to love a book for kids that has a cow eat a hamburger and remark, "I'm sorry, Madge. I didn't know it was you."
This book could be used in a first or second grade environment. It is a good book to incorporate setting and roles. It could be used to explain different characters positions in the book and foreshadowing of what's going to happen next.
