It's hard work being a cow - you graze, you chew, and you rest. This picture book tells of a day in the life of a cow, from the dawn rising and that early morning walk to the barn to be milked, through the hot summer's day, to the evening milking and dusk. Rinaldi's beautiful lifelike illustrations give a real sense of being there.
