  Once upon a time there was a crow who was befriended with a talking cow that really, really liked to sit in a swing! (The original name of the book actually implies that the cow has a child, which is kind of freaky, because there is zero mention about the child, and actually reason to believe the child is nowhere around anymore. Why is the book not talking about the cow’s trauma at all?!)

  In any case, once the cow had climbed to a tree for fun, and it was very important that the farmer won’t notice, because cows are not supposed to climb trees. The crow did a good job warning the cow when the farmer was approaching and damn it, I cannot remember what the hell the book tells, wait, maybe in the children’s room there’s another book about the same two animals!

  …nope, couldn’t find it. But, would you like to hear a story of a father who recently found three children’s books that should have been brought back to the library a week ago?

  I hope this story about a crow sated your appetite for crows!

      Glad to be of use!

      Oh, and here’s an incomplete Wikipedia article about that cow (and the almost not main character, which is a crow): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_Moo

    Remind us how much late fees the library charges for such follies cost in 2026, if you would, kind sir.

      Highly esteemed fellow fedinaut, I hereby enclose the information your fediness has requested:

      No late fees are collected for children’s books in Helsinki.
      For everything else, it’s 0,20 € per item and day.
