Celebrate individuality in this energetic story full of funny farmyard antics. From the creators of The Cow That Laid an Egg.
Marjorie the cow is terribly excited. Shes going to enter her daughter, Daisy, in the Baby Cow Contest. Daisy has been a very special cow ever since the day that she surprised everyone by hatching out of an egg! Marjorie feels sure that Daisy will win, hooves down.
But the other mothers are starting to talk Daisy isnt quite like the other babies; shes small and feathery, and she cant even chew the cud yet. Is there something Marjorie should know
There are plenty of surprises in store for Marjorie the cow in this hilarious follow-up to The Cow That Laid an Egg, introducing handsome new character, Derek the bull!
Praise for The Cow That Laid an Egg:
The Cow That Laid an Egg had me in stitches. More than just a silly story about a cow who thinks shes laid an egg, theres something deeper here about the idea of family, but its so integral to the story that you dont feel as thought youve been hit over the head with the sledgehammer of worthiness.
