Bookroo's summary

Cowy Cow is bursting with one hundred quirky ideas, like green being the best color and chewed grass tasting like cookies. But has she ever tasted a real cookie? Her whimsical quest to understand the world leads to hilariously flawed conclusions. As Cowy Cow navigates her imaginative theories, readers are invited to ponder: can her silly ideas hold any truth? With each page, the stakes rise as her curiosity challenges the boundaries of logic and humor. Dive into Cowy Cow's world where every thought is an adventure, and every conclusion is a delightful surprise.

From the publisher

Theme: Feeling Smart. Cowy Cow has so many ideas! In fact, she has one hundred of them: green is the best color ever; chewed grass tastes like a cookie . . . But has Cowy Cow ever tasted a cookie before? Though her research may be flawed, this single cow’s efforts to make silly sense of the world are both tickling and inspiring! Chris Raschka’s award-winning brush strokes add just the right amount of emotion and comedy. Praise for Cowy CowSTARRED REVIEW”Thank you, Chris Raschka, for reviving this sublimely ridiculous series.
