The Little Cow And The Turtle
Meindert Dejong, Maurice Sendak
Hardcover
(Harper & Brothers, Jan. 1, 1955)
The little cow was an adventurer and an explorer, but above all, she was friendly. She adopts an old mud turtle, slowly, and painfully making his way over the land to a new pool. The dramatic climax of the little cow's devotion leaves the reader as breathless as those who watched from the farm.
