Frugal Momma Book Reviews
From the daughter:
“My mom gave me the book, "The Cow-Pie Chronicles" and let me just say that the book was fantabulous!! 40 pages in and someone needed stitches! LOL! That's not good!”
From Mom:
“This would be a great book for school libraries, children's own library, and make a perfect stocking stuffer.”
Danita Ellis
“It has been a long time since I have read anything about cow pies, cow skiing, playing in lofts and being a kid the old fashioned way. It was a fantastic read and I look forward to reading more from James Butler!”
Vicki Floyd
“I would really encourage you to read this book to your kids, or let them read it. Boys especially love the ‘cow pie’ parts. My little guy got a huge kick out of the chapter with the ‘Cow Chip Tossing Contest’. And I really loved the glossary in the back of the book – it helped my six year old learn some new words!”
Jalynn Patterson
“I love the funny recollections. It sounds a lot like my children. We raise chickens so I'm sure a lot of the arguments Tim and Dana had way back when are exact replicas of what my children tend to argue about today.”
Charles Ashbacher
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially the cover, where the two children appear to be throwing Frisbees while three head of cattle smirk in the background. The children have their mouths open and have a joyous look on their faces. Some readers may not get it, but all farm kids will understand that no real farmer would ever have their mouth open so wide when they are tossing that brand of Frisbee.”
Debra Ramsey
“I enjoyed the story immensely. Once I started reading the story, did not stop until I
had read the entire book. It was such an insight into the past life of a (Michigan) farm child growing up in the 60's.”
Christy Knockleby
“The book is really well written. It has cute stories, good themes, and the teacher’s guide actually gets to some of those themes. My children enjoyed the story. It was easily accessible to them, though they have little to no acquaintance with farms.”
