The Cow on the Roof Zusammenfassung

The Cow on the Roof Eric Maddern

Every day Shon goes out to plough the fields, while his wife Sian works at home in the farmyard. Shon feels he does all the work, so his wife suggests they swap work for the day. Shon looks forward to an easy time of it, with very little to do, but he is in for a surprise... This well-known European folk tale carries a message for us all: count your blessings, and stick to what you do best!

The Cow on the Roof Bewertungen

The events in this story are comical, and the repetition of the phrase "gone is gone" teaches a lesson in itself as one thing after another goes wrong. Children will listen in suspense as they try to figure out just what unfortunate event will happen next and the illustrations reveal something new every time you see them. Pay close attention to Shon's shirt if you don't believe me. || A funny story with wonderful illustrations, children will love to read this slapstick tale over and over! || Who works harder, Shon or Sian? Shon thinks he does while his wife lazes about at home. So they decide to swap. Sian goes out to work in the fields while Shon takes care of the house. And what a tangle he gets into as the pig licks up the cream, the ale floods the cellar and he falls head first into the porridge after he' s put the cow to graze on the roof. Some classic hapless disasters in this stylish retelling of a familiar folktale
