This book transported me back to my childhood. Although my grandparents did not have cattle on their farm, I had plenty of friends that did. Being born in Nebraska put me in the middle of the dairy cattle farming. It was so refreshing to dwell on each and every story in this book.
This is a book of stories about cows, the farmers who owned them, the children who showed them at fairs, the ranchers, the dairy queens (we are not talking hamburgers) and the 4-Hers. There is nothing like setting around an old general store and listening to the farmers tell the tales of the best dairy cow, the birth of calves or the old mean bull. That’s the memories this book brought back.
This book teaches children the relationship between butter, milk, and cheese and the dairy cow. I could not help but laugh at some of the predicaments the younger children get themselves into while working with their dairy herd.
The pictures are magnificent. If you enjoy reading about the good old days and animal stories, then pick up a copy of True Cow tales. I will save this book for my grand-kids to read. The farms of the past are not the same as the farms of today and this book is a great opportunity for the younger generation to learn a bit of history.
