This is not a children's book at all. The pictures could be upseting, there is not story behind it, the language is not what you want your kids to learn at an early age or ever! I have never read this author before, but I will certainly won't do it after this book. I am glad I did not buy it, my son picked it out at the library misled by the front picture.

My husband has read nearly every Terry Pratchett book out there and insisted we get this for our 3 year old. So glad we did... he loves the book and within the span of a week has nearly memorized the whole book. Fun book for kids of Pratchett fans! Yes, you've already read it if you've read his other books, but way more entertaining in this format for kids.

At least that's what my 2 year old said on first seeing the pictures in this charming, if a trifle bizaar, childrens' book.While much of this can be found in "Thud!", the meta-story makes it for me. And my son doesn't much care as long as I make the noises. And the "city folk", funny as they are to a Pratchett fan, are still funny to my son.I plan to get this as a Christmas present for a good friend of mine. That's how much I like it; as both a children's book, and as something that makes me laugh as I read it.

I love this book. Love the idea, the story and characters. The illustrations are amazing and I'm planning on reading it to my granddaughter.

This children's book follows right along the lines of most of the other Disc World type books that he has written. Probably good for about 2+ children. It is a story about a man who is reading 'Where's My Cow?' to his son. So in a since it is a story...within a story. Very cute and the illustrations are also very good.

Bugger, I should have read the reviews. I thought it was the Where's my Cow book that Vimes reads to his son but nooooo.... I wouldn't have minded that if the illustrations weren't so bad. Not gross as someone else said but just bad art. Poorly done in photoshop or something.
