Clancy the Courageous Cow



author: Lachie Hume

Great for: 3 years and up

Time it takes to read: approx 10 minutes


Favourite line: "Several retired cows trained Clancy and taught him their favourite holds and manoeuvres."

Story line: "Being different to other Galloways was not easy for Clancy. He was treated differently, too, by them. They could not imagine what it would be like to be different either. But by being different, Clancy was able to grow into a very powerful contender for a competition with the Herefords, a competition the Galloways before had never been able to win."

We say: A story using children's language always goes down well. Clancy is a real hero and this book gives the message that it's okay to be different, in a fun and clever way.
