When Bluebell Sang

Ernst, L. (1989). When Bluebell Sang. New York, NY: An Affiliate of Macmillan, Inc.

Fiction

This book is about a singing cow, Bluebell. She packs concert halls, sets fashion trends, and travels in style. Big Eddie was a talent agent and asked Bluebell to travel. The cow got new clothes, hat and shoes. They traveled from state to state. Bluebell slipped away when they arrived at the farm and didn't travel with Big Eddie anymore, but continued her singing.

I would use this in my classroom because it is funny and engaging. I would show students that everyone has talent and can be successful. Sometimes you get tired of doing the same thing so you decide to switch up and do somthing different which is okay. Bluebell quit traveling, but continued her singing. This book also has good illustrations.
