The illustrations are high-contrast and favor primary colors, and so grab attention easily.

![]() I broke into a run, waving my arms at the cows still heading for the gate, hoping I might be able to corral them to keep them from getting out, too. ![]() ![]() And-oh no!-at least twenty cows had escaped through the gate and into the creamery parking lot! Open! The gate! I’d forgotten to latch it behind me when I’d walked into the pasture. I gulped, my pulse ratcheting into my chest. I glanced up just in time to see three Holsteins trotting past me, making a beeline for the open pasture gate.
