Who ever heard of a purple cow?

How come Cow's spots are purple when every other cow's are gray or brown? Fed up with being different, Cow sets out on a quest to change her spots.

Thanks to a gravelly walkway, she soon finds lots of gray to cover the purple, and a squirrel in a tree provides plenty of brown by showering Cow with seeds. But when she arrives back home all big and bunchy and lumpy, Chicken and Pig hardly recognize her. When they finally realize it is Cow, they reassure her that she is their friend -- purple spots and all.

The adorable Chicken, Pig, Cow and Dog are back, and they continue to capture the hearts of young readers. The winning combination of simple text, expressive illustrations and lots of humor makes this a perfect choice for toddlers and beginning readers.

Ruth Ohi is not only a talented writer and illustrator, she is also a tireless presenter at school and libraries, where she shares with children the secrets of her trade. Ohi lives with her family in Toronto, Ontario. Check out her website at www.ruthohi.com.
