What is Cow about?

Follow a cow through one gentle summer day, from the first light of dawn to the quiet of dusk. She wakes, walks to the barn, grazes in the fields, chews cud and rests in the warmth of the sun. Later, she returns for evening milking before settling down for the night. Told from the cow’s perspective, this calm, observant picture book brings farm life vividly to life through descriptive language and richly detailed, realistic illustrations.
