Bookroo's summary

Marjorie the cow enters her unique baby, Daisy, in a cow beauty contest. Unlike the others, Daisy is small, feathery, and hatched from an egg! As Daisy captures the judges' attention, Marjorie discovers surprises of her own. Will Daisy's differences lead to unexpected triumphs? Dive into this whimsical tale of identity and acceptance, where being different might just be the key to winning.

From the publisher

Marjorie the cow proudly enters her baby, Daisy, into a farmyard beauty contest strictly for cows. But Daisy isn’t quite like the other baby cows–she’s small and feathery, she has a beak, and she hatched from an egg! So there’s no surprise that Daisy catches the judge’s eye! But she’s not the only one who attracts attention in this hilarious follow-up to the cow that laid an egg. Proud mom Marjorie is in store for an award of her own.
