I really enjoyed this book, The illustrations looked a bit older, which I liked, And the story was pretty funny, Schoolage would love this in a storytime, lapread, or readalone, Preschool might enjoy a lapread if they have good attention spans, Unfortunately, I think the book is too long for a preschool storytime, unless they are wellbehaved and can sit for a long time.
I'll keep it in mind just in case, This is funny and cute, I think the descriptions of what the cow's owner does are really good examples of descriptive writing, Things like "knit her brow" or "set her jaw, " You could make a game of it with younger kids by showing them the face or expression and then having them do it.
In the end the owner tricks her cow but the cow has more tricks in store, I liked the pictures in this book, I had to summarize parts of it to keep the interest of my children, I loved this one. All the are filled up The Cow Who Wouldn't Come Down is a silly little book that kids of all ages would

enjoy.
It is about Miss Rosemary and her cow Gertrude who has taken to flying! Miss Rosemary knows that cows cannot fly and does everything she can think of to try to get Gertrude to come down.
Eventually Miss Rosemary is able to make Gertrude jealous enough to return to the farm and be a normal cow, But maybe Gertrude still has other things in mind! I really enjoyed this book because of the silly humor and cleverness of Miss Rosemary.

N/A Kind of long and ends up being not very funny.
Bemusing tale of bovine aviation which is not without charm, It's cute but I don't think it's aged that well, It's a known fact that cows don't fly, but, to Miss Rosemary's dismay, Gertrude didn't get the message,

Cute book with a cows behaving badly, "Click, Clack, Moo" feel although I prefer the "Click, Clack, Moo" books.
Highly recommended Absolutely love the illustrations, . . they're lighthearted and whimsical . the book has a sedate, silly sense of humor, It's a little long for pure entertainment, but a great length for settling into the bedtime routine with theyear old set.
Deranged. One of the best beginnings ever, . . "the day Gertrude took to flying put Miss Rosemary in somewhat of a tissy!" Followed by Miss Rosemary's repeated attempt to get Gertrude down.
Great for teaching perseverance, commitment, Also good for the concept of persuasion, THE COW WHO WOULDN'T COME DOWN received two starred reviews PW and SLJ and was selected as an SLJ Best Book of the Year, a Bulletin Blue Ribbon winner, and received other impressive distinctions.
