Something to Tell the Grandcows
Preview: Hear it

Emmadine Cow leads a normal life on Farmer Ferguss farm. But while swatting horseflies and chasing crows out of the corn are all well and good, what Emmadine really longs for is an adventure, something she could tell her grandcows about. And so when she learns that Admiral Richard E. Byrd was looking for a few good cows to take with him to the South Pole, she volunteers. Loosely based on an actual historical event, Eileen Spinellis humorous tale of Emmadines adventures will delight young readers everywhere, while Bill Slavins bold illustrations bring this very unique cow to life.
