Adventures of Cow is a 2005 children's picture book series written by Lori Korchek and illustrated by Marshall Taylor. [1] [2] [3] The sequel, Adventures of Cow, Too, was published in 2007.
A squish toy cow travels in a yellow backpack. She asks various misidentified farm animals how to get home, because she is very confused and not really smart. Back home, she talks to her family which are a penguin doorstep, a hippo vase, and a vegetable brush. Her aunt, a vegetable brush, suggests that she write books about her adventures. That causes the toy cow to become famous and appear on TV. [1]
Cow needs groceries and she has just a few items on the list. Also, Cow needs to make it home on time. It has vocabulary mix-ups and silly on-location photographs. [1] [4]
Adventures of Cow was selected as a Sonder Books Stand Out (2005) [5] and received positive reviews from Eclectica Magazine, [6] The Book Stacks, [7] Kirkus Reviews, [8] and Armchair Interviews. [9]
The School Library Journal reviewed in poorly, stating, "For children in the concrete stages of development, this book will be confusing, not funny. Other youngsters will just be bored." [10]
