Rosie is a fine, big cow - the pride of her owner. But Rosie wants to be slim. Just like the cow on the cover of her favourite magazine, Pretty Moo Moo. So she goes on a diet. Her owner is in despair, but Rosie won't listen. She exercises and diets until she is a shadow of her former self. However, when people start to laugh at her, and her owner falls ill with worry, Rosie sees the error of her ways. Body image issues are tackled and the book would be a good basis for a literacy hour lesson.
