Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Cowhide-and-Seek
Sheri Dillard · 2019
65/100
👎 Skip It
A cheerful farm-animal hide-and-seek romp built on cow puns — clean, bright, and perfect for storytime read-alouds. The catch is the narrow sweet spot: Kirkus noted it may confuse very young toddlers while feeling too easy for older preschoolers. Fun in the right hands, but not a must-own.
