The Cow who Clucked

Story: A cow wakes up one day and can no longer moo. Instead, she finds herself clucking. She undertakes a quest to find out who stole her moo.

Pictures: The pictures were amazing. They were colorful and expressionist and I loved them. I love this style of illustration and even without the story I would have truly enjoyed this book.

Thoughts: This story reminded me of "Are You My Mother?" (one of my favorites as a kid). I think it really stepped up the illustrations for books written for early readers.
