From Booklist
Ages 4-8. Sweeping realistic paintings are the highlight of this earnest trip through a cow's day. The poetic text, just a few words per spread, introduces the day's activities--from morning milking to mid-afternoon naps to evening grazing--while the second-person voice and sensory descriptions bring children close to, and even inside, the cow: "You tear the grass and chew the cud, rolling your mouth from side to side, pushing the food with your thick, wet tongue." Rinaldi's gorgeous paintings echo the text's immediacy, bringing children right up to the cow's reddish coat and massive head, and then panning out to show the flower-strewn meadow and fading sunlight. Young animal lovers will return again and again to these quiet, evocative scenes. A sly ending adds a touch of humor to this intimate portrait of a cow's life. Gillian Engberg

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4-In a symbiotic relationship, illustrations and text gently wow the senses as readers follow a cow through her slow, quiet day. Early morning birds and the farmer's familiar whistle are heard while a sense of the animal's "breath-hot and heavy" from a "broad, wet nose" is clearly imparted. Later, near the end of the day, her "milk-full udders aching, "she waits by the gate. From endpaper to endpaper, the double-page illustrations complete the mood. Reminiscent of John Constable's work, the art has the feel of the English countryside but could also be scenes from Wisconsin or Iowa. The universality and timelessness reflected in the oil paintings is both nostalgic and contemporary. The lighting is exquisite. Warm glow at dawn, fading colors at dusk, and filtered light in the coppice capture the serenity and rhythm of the meadow matron's day. This oversized book will work well for sharing during storytimes, but the pastoral paintings also offer a private gallery for singular enjoyment. This is a book not to be missed.-Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH

A Day in the Life of a Cow.....
16. Oktober 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
From sun up to sun down, spend a day in the life of a dairy cow. Rise at dawn, "big and heavy", and head for the barn, ready to be milked. Then lumber back to the pasture to eat and chew your cud all day long, take a cool drink from the river, and maybe a nap in the shade of a tree during the hot afternoon. "Your ears twitch to clear the flies from your face. You swish them from your back with a long bushy tail." As dusk approaches it's time to head back to the barn for the evening milking. "You graze, you chew, and you rest. It's hard work being a cow." Malachy Doyle's spare text, told in the second person, is quiet, and poetic, and complemented by Angelo Rinaldi's stunning artwork. Mr Rinaldi's beautifully shaded, close-up, and detailed oil paintings are so realistic and lifelike that you'll think you're looking at photographs. Together word and art offer a simple and elegant peek at a cow's life down on the dairy farm. Perfect for youngsters 3-7, Cow is engaging, early non-fiction at its best, and an evocative picture book that shouldn't be missed.

Where was this book during Caldecott nominations?
9. März 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Wow! I just stumbled across this beautiful book while gathering cow-themed books for my 4 year old. It is such a illustrative masterpiece! The text and pictures are so peaceful and I found myself imagining the sounds of the pasture, stream, and milking pen as I read. What a treat for my eyes, ears, and imagination. I searched to see if this book was considered for a Caldecott medal, but it wasn't. How unfortunate, since it is such a work of art.

Gorgeous illustrations
3. Januar 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The story is a bit clinical in it's description of heavy aching udders, but the illustrations are incredible. For our cow obsessed toddler, this was perfect.
