Milly Cow Gives Milk (Follow My Food)

　　This is the first paperback edition in a topical non-fiction collection about sustainability, now expanded to include new material. A child follows a day in the life of Milly the cow, as she munches grass with her friends, drinks gallons of water, makes cow pats in the field and visits the milking parlour with her farmer. Milly’s milk is made into butter, cheese and yoghurt.

　　This series encourages children to be environmentally aware by understanding where their food comes from. Each book is full of information that has been fact checked, yet presented in a simple and stylish way to spark the interest of both young children and adults. There is a simple quiz and fun facts at the end to explain more about dairy farming and produce, and this new edition includes a gallery of cow breeds and a simple recipe using milk.
