Chicken, Pig, Cow - On the Move by Ruth Ohi

This is our three friends' second adventure.

Chicken, Pig and Cow love their barn and their best friend Dog, but sometimes their barn feels a little small. One day they decide to look for a new home and after a few false starts, what a home it turns out to be. But despite all the room the dolls house has to offer, in the end the three friends end up cuddled up together in the bathtub of all places. Turns out the barn is still the best place for them

This is another wonderful book that will keep children and parents entertained with detailed pictures and wonderful text. I love the fact that Cow is a little hesitant about leaving their popsicle barn behind and ends up taking a popsicle stick with her wherever she goes.

I just wish I could sew, then I could make my very own Cow.

Both books are published by Annick Press and available from amazon.

Chicken, Pig, Cow by Ruth Ohi - or the cutest picture books I've seen in ages

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to meet Susan from Annick Press. Annick Press is an independant children's publisher based in Toronto, Canada (check out their website here http://www.annickpress.com/). After our meeting Susan gave me a bit of a goody bag of books, among them two of the most wonderful picture books I've seen in ages.

Chicken, Pig and Cow are the bestest of friends and live in a Popsicle-stick barn that Girl made. They love their home but one day decided they would like to got Outside and explore. Unfortunately their barn had no door, so Pig climbed on Cow and Chicken climbed on Pig and Chicken and Pig made it outside, but cow couldn't jump that high and decided to stay home. Well, until drooly Dog joined the adventure. Let's just say the barn ends up with a door and Chicken, Pig and Cow find a new friend.

I loved this book! The illustrations are wonderful (so cute), the story is funny enough to keep parents entertained even if they have to read it fifty times, while at the same time being a fabulous adventure for all the kids. Now I only wished there were cuddly toys shaped like those three friends, they would be so amazing.
