A humorous picture book filled with wordplay and mixed-up onomatopoeia, Cow Says Meow features bold graphic art, silly animals, and unique cover cutouts at the front and back.

Cow says . . . Meow!

Cat says . . . Neigh!

. . . or does it?

With bold graphic art and a punny narrator, this zany picture book is full of outrageously mixed-up animal sounds. Puns and wordplay will leave readers giggling through the roller coaster of sounds all the way to the final pages featuring the correct animal noises. Cow Says Meow is a perfect read-aloud for home, the classroom, or anywhere else and will delight fans of Cece Bell’s I Yam a Donkey and David Ezra Stein's Interrupting Chicken.

Available as a lower-priced hardcover edition.
