THE COW WHO WOULDN'T COME DOWN received two starred reviews (PW and SLJ) and was selected as an SLJ Best Book of the Year, a Bulletin Blue Ribbon winner, and received other impressive distinctions.

Miss Rosemary knows that her cow, Gertrude, has a mind of her own. But when Gertrude takes up a new hobby, Miss Rosemary is faced with a problem: how do you milk a flying cow? First Miss Rosemary tries to lure Gertrude down with a fresh bale of alfalfa, then she tries to catch the cow with a fishing rod, next she tries to rope Gertrude with a lasso. Nothing works until Miss Rosemary has a brilliant idea. She makes a new cow, -Matilda, out of fabric and stuffing. When Gertrude sees she has been replaced, she decides to return to earth. Once there she finds a new hobby--driving the tractor.
