Praise for The Cow That Laid an Egg:
‘The Cow That Laid an Egg… had me in stitches. More than just a silly story about a cow who thinks she’s laid an egg, there’s something deeper here about the idea of family, but it’s so integral to the story that you don’t feel as thought you’ve been hit over the head with the sledgehammer of worthiness.’
The Bookseller
"A Charming, comical tale." Starred Editor's Choice
Junior
‘A wonderfully madcap story with wacky illustrations.’ Nursery World
‘Children will love the sheer craziness of this story, and Russell Ayto’s spectacular illustrations are the perfect accompaniment.’ Alison Green (for Child Education)
Praise for ‘The Witch’s Children’, illustrated by Russell Ayto:
‘This book has been wonderfully designed and the text is in perfect harmony with the incredible funny illustrations’ Booktrust Best Books Guide

A madcap, yet moving, story about having the courage of one’s convictions, even when others doubt you, from the creator of 'Albie', Andy Cutbill, and the award-winning illustrator, Russell Ayto.
Marjorie the cow doesn’t feel very special. She can’t ride bicycles or do cartwheels like the other cows. But one morning, Marjorie is astonished to discover something extraordinary…
She’s laid an egg!
But does the baby inside the egg really belong to Marjorie? Emotions run high in the farmyard as everyone waits to find out…

Format:Paperback
I got this book for my daughter who is nearly four. She loved it especially as she knows that cows don't lay eggs. I sweet story about a cow who thinks she isn't special and the chickens give her an egg one night without her knowing. She becomes famous and special. Her fresian coloured egg hatches and the chick says Moo and she becomes a mummy. Quirky drawings with quite a lot to take in.

I bought this book because I thought it sounded fun for reading to my grandchildren. Well .... I love it! I roared with laughter when I read it, but still waiting for the grandchildrens' reaction, haven't had chance to read it to them yet. Fab story, lovely illustrations.
Format:Paperback
A wonderful, heart-warming tale of friendship (from the chickens to Marjorie the cow). A funny, and beautifully illustrated story that has become my 5 year old son's favourite book.
