DELTA, Ohio, A missing friend gives a familiar herd of dairy cows a new purpose in Udder Chaos 2: Where’s Roxie? Written by Jeff Mazurowski, illustrated by Keegan Clapp, and published by My World Press, the children’s picture book combines a county fair mystery with playful humor and a rescue mission built around friendship.

The story introduces its central question through an empty space in the dairy barn. Roxie should be beside her friends, but she is nowhere to be seen. Spice, Ginger, Foxie, and Dice begin searching, turning an ordinary fair visit into an adventure that requires help from beyond their own herd.

For families seeking an entertaining shared read, the book offers a clear mystery, short rhyming verses, and an unusual cast of helpers. Questions and clues move the search forward, while the animals’ increasingly ambitious efforts create opportunities for comedy. The details of their mission provide surprises for children to discover as they read.

Friendship gives the action its purpose. The cows notice Roxie’s absence and respond because she matters to them. As other animals become involved, the story makes cooperation part of the adventure. Information, different abilities, and a willingness to help all have a place in the group’s efforts.

Mazurowski keeps these ideas within the characters’ actions. Young readers can see the friends seeking assistance and coordinating their plans while enjoying the absurdity of farm animals taking on a rescue assignment. The book leaves room for conversations about helping others without interrupting its comic pace.

Keegan Clapp’s illustrations accompany the rhyming text, bringing the dairy barn, fairgrounds, and animal characters into view. Together, the words and pictures offer material for expressive reading aloud. Parents and teachers can pause for predictions, invite children to follow the clues, or simply let the adventure unfold.

Published in 2025, Udder Chaos 2: Where’s Roxie? follows the original Udder Chaos! county fair adventure. The sequel returns to the same rural setting while shifting the herd’s attention from exploring the fair to finding someone they care about. Returning readers meet familiar characters facing a different kind of trouble.

The book is dedicated to the hardworking dairy farmers of Fulton County, Ohio, and to Mazurowski’s teacher, colleague, and friend, Marty Friess. These acknowledgments connect the imaginative adventure to the agricultural community and personal relationships recognized in its opening pages.
