* How Now, Brown Cow?   Alice Schertle  1994


This picture poem book is perfect for young elementary aged children.  It has repetition of words, alliteration, rhyme scheme and are fun poems told in the point of view of a farmer, and his cows.  It is hilarious, entertaining, and children would love this!  It also hints on the old saying that brown cows make chocolate milk and it is so clever and funny.  The illustrations are water color art and are absolutely gorgeous.  This is a must for all teachers introducing alliteration, poetry, and rhyming.
