This is a brilliant book with smashing illustrations. In a nutshell, there was once a miserable old cow and a little lamb who tried his hardest to cheer her up, to no avail. There are parties, acrobatics and gallons of very very funny pictures by Tony Ross which my children think are hysterical. However, the cow is so miserable she can't see the good in anything so the lamb finally gives up. Once he's gone, the cow misses him terribly so she tracks him down for the inevitable happy ever after. This is an absolutely brilliant book to help children understand about being a grump, about looking on the bright side of life, and ultimately about being friends and the value of friends. And quite aside from all these handy subliminal messages, it's simply a very funny book which you'll all be picking off the shelf time and time again. Buy!
