About this title

Review:

Carla the Cow tells the story of a very unhappy cow. Her story, along with Robin's, will educate readers on the repercussions of being inconsiderate of those around you. Even though you may want to be on your own, or don't know how to talk to others this can come across as ignorance and rudeness to other people. Not only that, Carla will also educate readers on how lonely it is when you don t have friends and that disrespecting others is not helpful at all when trying to make new friends This story will help children easily understand that being polite to others will encourage friendships and make life a happier place. --Asha Mistry, Librarian

'The stories aren't just enchanting because of their charming characters, the also helps teach children learn to work collaboratively.' --What Mummy Thinks Blog

'Not only will this collection of adorable stories take you on a trip down memory lane, but it will also make you fall in love again with your old toys, which once were a wonderful source of happiness.' --Teodora Leon, NetGalley
