Title: The Cow and The Pig Who Went Quackers
Review: In "The Cow That Went Oink", one cow could not moo. He said "Oink." One pig could not oink. He said "Moo." All of the other animals laugh at the cow and the pig. The cow teaches the pig to oink and the pig teaches the cow to moo.I suppose that I am in the minority because I did not like this story at all. Perhaps if this book focused more on the teasing that the two animals received, I would have been inclined to give a better rating.I did not see a reason why children would care what either of the animals sounded like. Most two years olds (the group that I work with) are just beginning to associate the animals to the sounds that they make. This book would only seek to confuse youngsters who are beginning to develop their own language skills.The text is simple enough so that it could only be suitable for young children of this age group. Perhaps three's and four's can appreciate the symbolism of this story.
