About this book
Johnnie Green's special treatment of the Muley Cow causes grumbling among her neighbors in the barn. He brings her apples, carrots and other treats, and brushes her coat through the long winter hours. Farmer Green has promised Johnnie the cow once he learns to milk her, while she prefers to think that the boy belongs to her. Their friendship gives Arthur Scott Bailey's animal story a warm, comic starting point.
The farmyard animals talk, argue and judge one another with very human certainty. In the pasture, the Muley Cow welcomes birds that catch her troublesome flies, then questions their habits after a song sparrow objects. Short chapters combine everyday farm work with misunderstandings, favors and wounded pride. Young readers can follow these small disputes through lively dialogue and a familiar world of barns, fields and neighboring creatures.
