Rebecca Harrison Reed.
The cows set up shop in the barn and won't let the other animals in. They go over the cows' heads to the clueless farmer; eventually, the cows retreat to the house. Illustrations chronicle the antics with playfulness and humor. However, the text, with its hit-or-miss puns, is frustratingly hard to follow.
