The Nature Kid's Guide to Cows: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Cows! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181864)

Moo! A big wet nose lifts from the grass and sniffs the breeze. Those calm brown eyes miss nothing. It's a cow, and it can smell you from six miles away.

Most kids see cows every day on farms and never guess what these animals are really capable of. Cows can remember over 100 other cows by their faces, make different sounds depending on whether they feel happy, hungry, or stressed, and can run fast enough to outpace most people in a sprint.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Cows" takes children ages 7-12 from the cozy red barn all the way back to the wild forests where massive horned cattle once roamed before humans tamed them 10,000 years ago. Written for Level 2 readers in short, confidence-building sentences, this book covers everything from the four-part stomach that lets cows turn tough grass into gallons of milk, to the Texas Longhorn whose horns can stretch six feet across, to the newborn calf that stands up and walks within an hour of being born.

The gentle giant of the farm, with a few surprises up its sleeve.

Your child will discover that no two Holsteins have the same spot pattern, that cows move their jaws 40,000 times a day just chewing, and that cows with a best friend are calmer and actually produce more milk. It takes three gallons of milk to make one gallon of ice cream, and it all starts with this remarkable animal.

Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kid's Guide series. This gentle giant is ready to be their next favorite.
