whitereflectionTerry Pratchett's children's book Where's My Cow? is the CUTEST THING EVER. I'm serious. EVER.
See, it's not just the story, it's the story about the story--about Sam reading to his son. The story itself is cute, sure--but the bits about Sam reading, omg it's so charming~

A quote:
So he said to young Sam: "If you lose your cow you should report this to the Watch under the Domestic & Farmyard Animals (Lost) Act of 1809. They will swing into action with keenness and speed. Your cow will be found. If it has been impersonating other animals, it may be arrested. If you are a stupid person, do not look for your cow yourself. Never try to milk a chicken. It hardly ever works."
Young Sam thought this was funny.
And Sam Vimes thought: Why is Young Sam's nursery full of farmyard animals, anyway? Why are his books full of moo-cows and baa-lambs? He is growing up in a city. He will only see them on a plate! They go sizzle!
