Shaffer, Jody Jensen Prudence: The Part-Time Cow,
illustrated by Stephanie Laberis.
PICTURE BOOK. Henry Holt
(Macmillan), 2017. $17
While Prudence is a cow, but only part-time. The rest of the time she is a scientist, an
architect, and an engineer. The other
cows don’t find her very amusing.
Prudence considers what she can do to get back on their good side. So
she buckles down and comes up with some clever inventions that show the others
that she can be useful.
Am I being a fussy old person when I say I don’t like that
the other cows’ friendship depends on Prudence doing something for them? The
pictures are so good – I want to like this more than I did. Someone convince me!
