Children's Book of the Week: 15

We found the cutest book at the library the other day. It's especially appropriate for our family, since all three of my children inherited my trademark cowlick, which I inherited from my mother and she inherited from hers. All six of us have the same cowlick in the exact same spot on our foreheads. This is a cute little book which comically explains where "cowlicks" come from. It's called

Cowlick
by Christin Ditchfield

The illustrations, by Rosalind Beardshaw, are darling. In the story, a large mama cow sneaks into the bedroom of two little boys one night. She

"sees a face so soft and sweet framed with hair so smooth and neat. Quickly, as he starts to stir, before he wakes and catches her, bending low, bestows a kiss:
Sluuuurrrppp!
Cowlick!"

Oh, and once the deed is done,

"no brush or comb will do the trick when you've been given a big cowlick!"

It's a really cute book, it's short, sweet, it rhymes, and it's fun to read. You can get yours here!
