Big Fat Cow that goes Kapow
Andy Griffiths (2008), 124 pages
Illustrated by Terry Denton
Audience: Preschool - 3rd Grade
This is a great book for beginning and reluctant readers. The stories are hilarious and short with goofy black and white illustrations that add to the humor. Because it is a collection of stories, the reader can be comfortable with reading a chapter book. A few of the chapter titles are Willy the Worm, Brave Dave and Mike's Bike.

A boy points out that he's bigger than many different animals at the zoo. Then his sister shows her 'little brother' the truth, he's smaller than many animals, too. Vivid illustrations on each page bring the zoo to life. (Reading Level: 2.1)
