Message good, delivery bad, Jun 25 2002

While I would NOT say the book is preachy (except maybe to those who aren't vegetarian), and it did have very good information for children (and adults, frankly) - I was not as happy with the WAY the information was PACKAGED.
I think children like colorful pictures. There was NO color in this book, and while one publisher's comments described the illustrations as "delightful," I would be more inclined to describe them as drab.
I was also surprised when I picked the book up. The cover had me expecting a good sized book, when it is actually an oversized cover with scant few pages between.
I would still recommend this book, as there are so few with its message. I would just want the buyer to know what they're getting.
Another reviewer recommended Herb the Vegetarian Dragon instead. I would suggest buying BOTH! What this book lacked in eye-candy, Herb had in abundance. But, this book is needed to counter the bland delivery of the message found in Herb.

Wow! I really loved this book. I am 11 years and I am vegetarian. Alot of kids at school have made fun of me because I am vegetarian. I asked my mom why they make fun of me because I dont eat meat and she told me it was because there arent many vegetarians out there. A few weeks later she gave me this book. I read it over the weekend and I really loved this book. Thank you Ann Bradley for writing such a neat book.

My daughter and I enjoyed this book, probably for different reasons. The companion cowsareveg website was enjoyable too. The book carries a serious message but isn't preachy, and I did like the artwork.
