Episode 18 - Mystical Cows (The Beasts of Clawstone Castle and Maharani the Cow)

This week we’re reading around the theme of Mystical Cows!

 

Our picture book is Maharani the Cow, written by Christy Shoba Sudhir and illustrated by Nancy Raj – a bustling slice of life in India is interrupted by a cow in the road.

 

And our chapter book is The Beasts Of Clawstone Castle by Eva Ibbotson, in which there may well be ghosts but it is, in fact, all about the cows.
