This is a short story of animal friends gathering in the Cow's backyard. As each new friend joins, the hammock grows more crowded. Eventually there is no more room, but the Ant tells the elephant as he has told everyone before, "Come join us! There's always room for one more friend. Please don't say you can't!" Mother elephant picks up the hammock and puts it on her back and carries around her friends. It's a cute little story about friendship!
The book as a whole is a paperback plus book. After the story In The Cow's Backyard, there is a poem called So Many Kinds of Animals by Mary Ann Hoberman, and a quiz on animals and what they do when it's hot outside. There is also a cute game for kids that relates to the story at the end of the book. This is a great little text that would be great to use in a lower level classroom!
