Customer Reviews

“Very good” condition but is was not

The story is wonderful and the illustrations are rich and detailed. However, the book was listed as in very good condition amd the binding was broken and pages torn. It had belonged to a library and had been very used.

The Delight of Our Evening Reading

We have 2.5 year-old twins and story time has become a challenge because they have very different interests, but this book has become a true favorite! It has a COW (MOOO) and a MAILMAN (Hi, Mailman!) and funny pictures with absurd hiding places for a cow. Not too long. Not to short. Just right!

Great kids book

Any book that can make our whole family howl with laughter deserves 5 stars. My kids love having us read the book to them, as well as studying the illustrations on their own. Great book for kids ages 3-7.

Loved this book

Absolutely loved this book, so much so that I had a hard time giving it away to a child for a gift. Terrific story line and illustrations.

Three Silly Chicks Review

Oh, how we love a good barnyard book, and -- could it be? -- we may have found our favorite of all time in this winsome tale. Millie is a milk cow with a penchant for mischief: her favorite hobby is to scare the stuffing out of the poor mail carrier, resulting in a string of damaged deliveries to one irritated farmer lady. The bedraggled mailman finally comes up with an ingenious plan, but things quickly go awry, leading to a crazy chase scene that leaves everyone a little worse for wear. Will Millie redeem herself? Let's just say Millie's got a few surprises to deliver! (And while Millie may be the milk cow with the mostest, check out her chicken friends, who do their best to steal the show.)

Special Delivery for Kids and Adults

This delightful book tells the story of a milk cow whose sole joy is startling the mailman. The mailman soon comes up with a plan that changes everyone's mail experience. This cute story has fun pictures and makes adults and kids laugh.
