(Age 4-8) It's the day of the county fair! Three-legged races, a "Smartest Pig" contest, the Ferris wheel - what could be more fun? But the Greenstalks' car won't start, so they'll need some help getting there. ''After helping the Greenstalk family get to the county fair, the cows busy themselves finding solutions to many of her problems that arise during the day.'' Cows to the Rescue is the fabulous new book in John Himmelman's hilarious barnyard saga. It follows Chickens to the Rescue and Pigs to the Rescue, bringing back the fun with brand new mishaps and brand moo ... er, new ... problem-solvers.
