Bookroo's summary

Little Cow dreams of a better life on the other mountain, promising her friends munchier grass and crunchier bugs. Together, they embark on a journey, only to discover unexpected truths. Is the grass really greener on the other side? Join this whimsical adventure to find out what awaits them beyond the familiar hills.

From the publisher

Little Cow thinks life will be better on the “other mountain,” and convinces a few animals that the grass will be munchier, the bugs crunchier, the water sploshier, the mud sloshier . . . but when they get there, they find that the grass isn’t really greener on the other side. This simple, witty tale, brought to life by Caldecott medalist Feodor Rojankovsky, was originally published in 1963 and is now back in print as a Little Golden Book Classic.
