Eric Maddern (Illus. Paul Hess), The Cow on the Roof

Frances Lincoln, 9781845075910 | Suggested age range: 6-7

Who works harder, Shon or Sian? Shon thinks he does while his wife lazes about at home. So they decide to swap. Sian goes out to work in the fields while Shon takes care of the house. And what a tangle he gets into as the pig licks up the cream, the ale floods the cellar and he falls head first into the porridge after he's put the cow to graze on the roof. Some classic hapless disasters in this stylish retelling of a familiar folktale.
