Libby Wimbley and her friend Becca spend time trying to decide what Libby can enter this year in the upcoming county fair. Libby’s cobbler won’t work, nor will her knitting. The farm animals do not seem to be interested, either. Then, Fred, the calf, ‘nudges‘ his way into becoming Libby’s fair entry.

Libby does not pout or cry when Fred does not win a prize. This is refreshing in a day when everyone receives a prize. ‘ “Looks like we didn’t win. But you did great!” Libby smiled at Fred. Then the judge announced, “And fourth place goes to Libby Wimbley and Fred!” ‘ (31)

Cow Girl is part of the Libby Wimbley series. Libby is a person-of-color, though this book does not address it. I am not sure if it is addressed in any of the other books in the series. Cow Girl is written in five short chapters with a medium-large size font.
