Milly Cow Gives Milk cover

Milly the cow 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 then put into cartons and made into butter, cheese and yoghurt. There is a simple quiz at the back and some further information about cows and milk. Bright and stylish papercut art conveys the crucial message that producing food is hard work, and we must respect the animals and humans who produce it, and we must not waste it!

Big Issue North;‘Ask a group of young children where milk comes from and if my experience is anything to go by, some of them will name a supermarket. Now here’s a simple picture book, the first of a series, that goes right back to grass roots.’ Red Reading Hub;‘An enlightening and entertaining new picture book series which helps children to understand where their food comes from… and just how precious it is … Message in a bottle for your little eco-warriors…’ Wigan Today
