    Join a thoughtful cow on her quest for a life of luxury in this hilarious picture book introduction to six simple machines, for kids aged 3–7.

    Cow.

    Castle.

    Cow in the castle.

    But . . . how?

    In this sparsely told yet delightful tale, an intrepid problem-solving cow who dreams of a life of luxury will stop at nothing to get into a nearby castle, even if she has to invent a whole new way to do so — or six — in this hilarious, chaotic picture book introduction to the six simple machines: lever, screw, wedge, pulley, inclined plane, and wheel and axle.

    With backmatter including simple machine definitions and examples, this book will inspire inventor/maker kids and early readers through the persistent example of a real Renaissance man . . . er, cow.
    TIFFANY STONE is a celebrated poet, picture book author and editor known for her clever wordplay. Her recent titles include Super Small, illustrated by Ashley Spires; Wood Could, illustrated by Andrew Larsen, and Little Narwhal, Not Alone, illustrated by Ashlyn Anstee. Super Small received a starred review from Kirkus. Wood Could received a starred review from School Library Journal. Tiffany received a BFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and has been published in children's magazines such as Chirp. She was born in Quebec but lives with her family and pets, including two snakes, in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. View titles by Tiffany Stone
