Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2-Bessie and Old Tom enjoy their serene life in the country and vigorously attack their personal chores to keep things on an even keel; every day, she milks Belinda and he works in the garden. However, events take a drastic turn for Old Tom when Bessie visits her daughter in the city overnight. The highly responsible job of milking the cow is then delegated to him-and Belinda has a mind of her own. But this man refuses to be bested by the animal and comes up with the perfect solution: he puts on his wife's pink dress, rubber boots, and straw hat, and lo and behold, the cow thinks he's her beloved mistress. The final result is milk in abundance. Allen delivers a zany story of stubbornness and determination through a simple text that bounces along with a light and breezy tone. Its clever use of repetition and crisp sentences beg to be read aloud. The watercolor illustrations with India-ink crosshatchings are manipulated with great flair to create small, comical figures that are often shown in a series to create an animated effect. Children will revel in the sheer silliness and appreciate the creative solution.-Debra S. Gold, Parma Heights Library, Parma, OH
Hazel Rochman
Old Tom isn't used to milking Belinda the cow and, when his wife goes away, the cow kicks him high in the air so that he lands with a thud in the mud. He tries to lure Belinda with a carrot and to catch her with a rope, but the cow runs off "mooing and trotting, mooing and trotting." That means no milk for the dog, no milk for the cat, and no butter for Old Tom's bread. His solution is to dress up in his wife's huge pink flowery dress, complete with pillow for bosom and a cartwheel hat. The combination of rhythmic, repetitive text and sharp ink-and-wash illustrations, with the bearded old man and the farm animals chasing each other and falling across lots of white space, makes for slapstick read-aloud comedy.
