Customer Reviews

If you like cows, and if you're curious about them...

... then this is the book for you! My wife and I bought this book and read aloud to each other from it at bedtime. We are the kind of people who didn't grow up around cows, and we find them to be amusing creatures... and until we read this book, we didn't know how little we knew. This book will take you from general facts to minute trivia and back again. We love Sara Rath's book, and we highly recommend it.

Highly recommended reading for bovine all enthusiasts!

Did you know that the daily jaw movements of a cow average 41,360; that there are 340 "squirts" in a pail of milk; that the average American eats a half ton of cheese during a lifetime; that in 4000 B.C. cheese was made in Switzerland! About Cows is an amusing, informative, engaging, illustrated collection of dairy cow history, trivia and nostalgia, packed with everything from the connection between cows and UFOs to the story of the Hereford Jessica and a lovesick Vermont moose. About Cows is highly recommended, entertaining reading for all bovine enthusiasts everywhere!
