SOLVED. Children's Picture Book. Four stories told at the same time on the same pages. First one about a cartoon robber stealing cows. Second about a man riding a train. Third about a kid in a house (I think). And the fourth one I cannot remember.

Some Goodreads reviewers say:
- There are 4 stories going on for each page. At the beginning, we are told that they might seem to be unrelated...
- Each tale - a boy traveling cross-country on the train, looking forward to being reunited with his parents; a girl who usually finds her parents predictable, until they come home one day clothed in newspapers, singing songs; a group of commuters waiting for a delayed train; a herd of Holstein cows on the loose, either being stolen by some robbers, or not - takes up one quarter of every two-page spread.

Yes! Thank you! I could never find it due to how vague the title is.

I know what you mean. I happened to browse that book and your keywords reminded me of it.
