Not only is this book an incredible 10/10 read, but it also comes with a CD containing the hit song "Cows with Guns." Will be the first book I read to my own children. It truly motivated me to learn how to read.

Lyons' "Cows with Guns" is a classic, as is the man himself. The original song? One of my daughter's first songs ever.

The book came with a fun CD with a song called Cows With Guns. Funny story and song and the family enjoyed it.

Be sure to hear the song as well. Very sing-able.

odd but full of punny fun. More text than I expected

This book, and the accompanying CD is the perfect way to introduce ANIMAL FARM. The hilarious rebellion of farm animals, now armed to the teeth, taking revenge, makes me laugh just thinking about it. The music on the CD is so clever and cheesy, kids love it, but have to pretend not to. Just thinking of this silly book makes me sad I don't teach ninth grade English anymore.

i don't understand how anyone could NOT love this adult-themed children's book

Absolutely hysterical. Totally off-the-wall and offbeat, which is to say, my sense of humor!
