Title: Cannibalism 101
Product review: I read this to my daughter when she was about five years old and she was horrified by the fact that the cows go to a party and eat hamburgers.Moo says, "This is tasty!" Minnie gasps, and tells her that beef is made of cows like them, and they assume that Moo has eaten her friend "Madge Holstein". They even have a burial for the cooked meat and Moo apologizes to "Madge" posthumously.We received the book as a gift and I hadn't read it before. After I read the page about the cows eating their friend, I did some quick creative storytelling and ended storytime promptly to try to minimize the damage! I gave it to my vegan, PETA-loving sister, thinking she might appreciate it, but she thought it was too creepy to read to her children as well. It wound up in the trash.There are too many great children's books out there to waste precious storytime on this one. This book is just plain disturbing.
