Out of print

'Twas the night before Christmas, and in our duplex
The children were plugged into special effects,
While pizza with sausage and peppers they downed
With soda, plus popcorn and chips by the pound.

. . . .

When all of a sudden not the sound of reindeers,
But the mooing of Santa Cows came to our ears.
So we ran to the windows and opened the shutters.
We threw up the blinds to a sky full of udders.






Okay, so I understand completely why Cooper Edens' Santa Cows (illustrated by Daniel Lane) is out of print.

But we always found it a moooving experience.
