It's a story about a boy who gets licked at night by a cow and wakes up with a cowlick. The book has creative writing, language, and pictures. The writing on each page flows because it rhymes in a jingle. When the cow is sneaking up the rhyme states "To the bedside she comes sneaking. Lifting covers, gently peeking." Each page has one line that describes a whole scene short and sweet. The author used a variety of adjectives that make the story more interesting. When describing the little boy sleeping the text says "Sees a face so soft and sweet. Framed with hair so smooth and neat." When the cow licks the boy it says "Sluuuurp!" written across the page. The author definitely did a good job at using descriptive words that make it seem more realistic. The pictures represent what the text describes perfectly. If a student wasn't able read, they would understand the story line. In the begging, it says "clip-clop, clip-clop down the hall. Funny shadow on the wall," and it's shown with a cow tiptoeing and a shadow behind him on the wall. Every page describes an action of the cow, with a picture showing the action. The pictures look like the author painted the scenes. The pictures are simple but do a great job at telling the story. no reviews | add a review

When she sees a smooth little head on a pillow, she can't resist giving it a cow kiss--sluuurrrp! Cowlick! gives young readers an imaginative and playful explanation for the "bedhead" that afflicts us all! No library descriptions found. |
