Bookroo's summary

A cow appears on Mrs. Wow's lawn, prompting her lazy dog and cat to teach her their chores. However, the cow struggles with catching mice and guarding the house. Mrs. Wow, however, discovers the cow's unique talent that makes all the chores worthwhile. What could this unexpected skill be? Dive into this delightful rhyming tale to find out!

From the publisher

When a cow unexpectedly shows up on Mrs. Wow’s lawn, her lazy dog and cat think they should teach her their chores, so they can rest. They find out that the cow is no good at catching mice or being a watchdog. But Mrs. Wow knows something the cow can do, and it makes the chores worth it! The funniest rhyming bovine Beginner Book since Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.
