Fair Cow
As Effie prepares
for the state fair with help from a pig, she finds something
is wrong with her hair, her shape, her tail and more.
Review from Kirkus: Helakoski's
first solo effort shows off her goofy acrylics, which are a
terrific match for her frisky farm fable. A good
addition to collections in need of some new barnyard or
self-esteem titles.
