Millie in the Snow

Fun-loving Millie is now a Mail Cow and it's the busiest day of the year - Christmas Eve. Working quickly, she and the mailman manage to deliver all the packages on time. The mailman sends Millie home with the Christmas gifts that he has made for her and her friends, telling her that he'll stop by the farm later for some Christmas punch. The only problem is, Millie gets lost on the way home. Hey, it's not her fault that everything looks the same under a blanket of snow!

After a hilarious adventure, Millie finally makes it home and gives the presents to her friends at the farm. However, as the mailman soon finds out, they find a much more creative use for the than he'd originally intended.

I love the illustrations from this author - they're just as funny as the story itself!

Mille Waits for the Mail

I don't know about you, but the cows I've seen do nothing more than stand around in the field, grazing and swatting flies with their tails. Such boring animals. Just wait until you meet Millie; she's unlike any cow you've ever encountered.

Surprisingly, Millie's favorite thing to do each day is wait for the mailman - but not because she's waiting for a letter or even a package. Millie is mischievous, and more than anything, she loves to scare the mailman.

Coming up with all kinds of interesting hiding places, she manages to scare the poor mailman each and every day - much to the dismay of the farmer.

The mailman decides to give Millie a package of her own, in hopes that she will be more friendly towards him. The plan backfires, leaving Millie with a smashed package and the mailman with a broken bicycle. How in the world is he supposed to deliver mail now?

We just read this tonight and I loved it. Great illustrations and humor that makes me laugh out loud - it's definitely a keeper!
