The Cow on the Roof Summary

The Cow on the Roof by Eric Maddern

Every day Shon goes out to the fields to work, and each day Sian, his wife stays at home working in the cottage. Shon begins to feel he's doing all the work, and starts to grumble. All right! Sian says. Tomorrow I'll go out and do your work and you can stay at home and do mine. Shon agrees, and looks forward to having a nice easy time of it - after all, there's just the butter to churn, the oats to grind and the cow to take out to the field...or so he thinks. The hilarious events that follow, with their wry moral of how you should stick to what you're good at, is genially retold by the master storyteller Eric Maddern and, with Paul Hess's stylishly-funny artwork, makes a book children will want to enjoy over and over again.
