Move over Miss Clover Joann Morris Matthews

A large brown cow riding on a school bus? That's just goofy. Move Over Miss Clover tells of an overzealous brown cow sitting with schoolchildren on a bus. The presence of the cow makes for a fun ride to school. The students name the cow Clover. Worries the new passenger would scare the students were for naught. The bus driver's worries turn to fun as the children laugh and sing a song especially for Clover. Instead of talking on the bus ride, they join in song and laughter. Young people are attracted to animals - large brown cows, included. The catchy, short song included in the storyline will resonate for young readers long after the book is closed. Chances are most cows they see after this read will remind them of Clover. It is fun to talk to an animal and have that animal respond. Try it sometime.
