Love That Cow

Okay....could I love that cow any more?
I don't think so.
Do I adore the work of Sharon Creech?
Um, heck, YEAH!

I love this book so dang much.

"...the smells and the heat and the noise were pouring in the windows and squeezing us from all sides."

*Sigh*

"It seemed they didn't want to waste friend effort on someone who was leaving town."

*Sigh again*

"The voice full of honey but the words...not."

*Big heaving sigh*

This book VIBRATES with action and sounds.....the WORDS:

Lurched

Ambled

Lumbered

Skittered

Lunged

Careened

Clambering

Zooming

Ogling

Screaming

Vibrating

Wailing

Bellowing

And then there is this:

"Sometimes an hour is a blink

A flash

A wink, a flicker

A dashing gallop

And sometimes

An hour stretches

Thuddingly

Second by second

An endless

Eternity

of drips"

THUDDINGLY?

Who even thinks up that word?

I really, really, really loved this book.

And so will you. 

But, um, sorry.
