Perfect Picture Book Friday: COW SAYS MEOW Plus Giveaway

Posted on by

Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends. One of my favorite kid-lit people has a brand new book that launched this month and I couldn’t wait to share the book with all of you.

Oh, and make sure you stick around and leave a comment at the end…and share the post on social media because the author, the wonderful Kirsti Call, and her publisher, HMH, are generously offering a giveaway.

COW SAYS MEOW

Written by Kirsti Call

Illustrated by Brandon James Scott

Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (March 2021)

Ages: 4-7

Themes: Word play, humor, animals

Synopsis: From Amazon:

A humorous picture book filled with wordplay and mixed-up onomatopoeia, Cow Says Meow features bold graphic art, silly animals, and unique cover cut-outs at the front and back.

Why I love this book:

  1. The text: bursting with humor and clever word play
  2. The illustrations: bold and funny
  3. The construction of the book is unusual…kids will love it!

  27. This looks soooo cute! Curious to learn when the cut-outs were developed–by Kirsti during the drafting stages or if the illustrator had that “aha” moment? (Or is that the “mooo-moment?”)
