Veronica the Clever Cow Series — All 6 Charming Picture Books Now Live

May 22, 2026

The Veronica the Clever Cow series is now complete — all six picture books are live and available wherever you buy your childrens books.

Six books. Six adventures. One very clever Swiss Brown cow and the friends she has gathered around her along the way.

What Makes the Veronica the Clever Cow Series Different

The Veronica the Clever Cow series sits in a particular corner of picture book publishing. The stories are gentle. The pacing is deliberately quiet. The humour comes from character rather than chaos. Each book is hand illustrated and written to be read aloud — every word earns its place on the page.

British/Australian author Jaz Hoy writes in a tradition that runs from Beatrix Potter through to Alison Lester. Children meet animals who feel like real characters with real personalities — not catchphrases, not lessons in disguise, but creatures who are properly themselves.

The enduring appeal of that tradition is worth understanding — the Victoria and Albert Museum holds the Beatrix Potter archive and traces how warm, character-led picture books have shaped childhood reading for more than a century. The Veronica the Clever Cow series is a contemporary contribution to that lineage.

The Six Books — A Quick Tour

Book 1: Veronica’s Very Important Scratch — The book that started it all. Veronica has an itch she cannot reach. The whole farm gets involved. A gentle introduction to problem solving and friendship.

Book 2: Veronica and The Noisy Bell — Veronica discovers that the bell around her neck is louder than she realised. A quiet meditation on listening, noise, and finding the right moment for quiet.

Book 3: Veronica’s Busy Day — Veronica has a packed schedule. The farm has other plans. The busiest and funniest book in the series.

Book 4: Veronica and the Wishing Well — Pip the piglet and Millie the mouse join the cast. Veronica makes a wish and discovers something unexpected about wishes themselves.

Book 5: Veronica and the Storm — A summer storm rolls in. Veronica leads everyone to safety. The most emotionally resonant book in the series so far.

Book 6: Veronica Goes to the Beach — Veronica’s first trip to the sea. The newest in the Veronica the Clever Cow series, released this month.

What’s Next for the Veronica the Clever Cow Series

Book 7 is in early planning. The cast may grow. There are some quiet ideas already taking shape. The Veronica the Clever Cow series was written to be a long, slow, lovingly built world — not a sprint.

For now, six books are live. All of them are available. The series is ready to read.

You can find more about the books, the characters, and Jaz herself on the Meet the Characters page.

If you read one of the Veronica the Clever Cow series books with your child and they ask for it again — that is exactly what was intended.
