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.
