Amazing Cows
by Sandra Boynton
According to Sandra Boynton, her book is full of “stories, jokes, poems, comics, and udder absurdity for all ages up to a hundred and moo!” The book starts with a lesson on how to speak cow, so that you can have a conversation with them in their own language. There are also jokes about cows throughout the book, such as “How do cows pay for things?” What do you think the answer is? There are cow stories, notes on cow fashion, cow limericks, and even a cow comic. There are also plenty of pictures of cows throughout the book, with a few chickens, too.

Ponyella
by Laura Numeroff and Nate Evans with pictures by Lynn Musinger
Ponyella is happy living on her small farm, and she loves to jump. Then one day she notices a “For Sale” sign on the front gate. Her owners move away, and the new owners bring their ponies, Plumpkin and Bun Bun to the farm. Plumpkin and Bun Bun are unhappy with the farm and with Ponyella. They both think that they are much prettier than Ponyella. The new owner puts Ponyella in a tiny, smelly stall, never lets her jump, and makes her pull a cart filled with coal. The coal turns Ponyella’s coat gray instead of white, and she was very unhappy. One day the horses see Princess Penelope’s car going by, and Bun Bun and Plumpkin tell Ponyella that Princess Penelope is going to pick the winner of the Tippington 25th Annual Grand Royal Pony Championship. On the day of the Championship, Bun Bun and Plumpkin are groomed and taken to the Championship in a fancy horse trailer, but Ponyella is left at home. When Ponyella starts to cry, her fairy godmare appears, makes a trailer out of a apple, a driver out of a mouse, and makes Ponyella beautiful with diamond horseshoes. The magic only lasts until noon, and Ponyella must left before then. Will Ponyella win the Championship? Will Princess Penelope be able to find Ponyella? What other story does Ponyella remind you of?

Molly the Brave and Me
by Jane O’Connor and illustrated by Shelia Hamanaka
Beth thinks that Molly is braver than anybody in second grade. Molly stands at the top of the monkey bars on one foot, does not mind dead water bugs in her desk, and tells big kids who try to pick on her to “get lost.” Beth wishes that she was as brave as Molly. Then Molly asks Beth to come stay at her house in the country over the weekend. Beth is happy that Molly likes her enough to want her to come over, but she is scared to stay away from home for a night. She tells Molly that she is not sure if her parents will let her. When Molly’s mom calls Beth’s mom, her mom tells Molly’s mom that Beth can go. Beth tells her mom that she is worried that she will be scared, cry, and that Molly will not like her anymore. Beth’s mom tells her that everything will be okay. Beth tries very hard to be brave with Molly by letting Molly’s big dog lick her, staying in an old house, picking berries, and crossing a log to get across a stream to pick wildflowers. Beth decides that she is really enjoying spending time with Molly in the country. Molly’s dog runs in to a cornfield after a rabbit, and the girls go in after him. Will Beth find out that there is something that Molly is afraid of? Will Beth be scared to, or will she be able to help her friend?
