THE DAY THE COW SNEEZED by James Flora. A boy named Fletcher has a morning routine which includes taking his cow, Floss, down to the creek for a drink of water. Fletcher leaves Floss standing knee deep in the cold creek water when he is distracted by a bunny rabbit and runs off after it. Shaking and shivering, Floss lets out a powerful sneeze: "KA-CHOW!" That sneeze sets off a chain of events that results in an impromptu fireworks show and the release of an entire zoo.
