Illustrated by Julia Groves Follow My Food Series Scallywag Press ISBN 978191265-521 £10.99
This book introduces us to Milly Cow and her life. We see her grazing on grass with her friends, drinking water, making cowpats and providing milk in the milking parlour with Farmer McBean. She provides about sixty pints a day, which are packed into cartons and sold in shops. The book contains an interesting trail that involves matching words and pictures. We also learn about the personality of cows, the nutritional value of milk, and the variety of foods that can be made from it. Attractive, clear illustrations enhance the text. This important book, endorsed by The Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers, teaches young children how their food is produced and helps them to appreciate their environment. Age 3+
