這本書以一個孩子的視角,帶領讀者跟隨乳牛Milly,體驗牠在農場上的一天:
米莉和牠的牛妹妹朋友們一起在綠油油的草地上大口嚼著青草。
為了產出健康的牛奶,米莉每天都要喝下好幾加侖的水。
牠在草地上隨性地留下熱騰騰的牛糞。
時間到了,米莉會跟著農夫一起走進擠乳室排隊擠乳。
米莉產出的新鮮牛奶,最後會被加工製作成我們餐桌上常見的香濃奶油、起司和優格。
這本書由 Deborah Chancellor 撰寫、Julia Groves 負責充滿美感的剪紙風插畫,是永續環保系列繪本的第一部作品。
最新平裝版本除了保留書末原有的互動小問答與乳製品冷知識外,還特別加碼擴充了「世界牛隻品種圖鑑」以及「用牛奶做料理的簡單食譜」。
This is the first paperback edition in a topical non-fiction collection about sustainability, now expanded to include new material. A child follows a day in the life of Milly the cow, as she munches grass with her friends, drinks gallons of water, makes cow pats in the field and visits the milking parlour with her farmer. Milly’s milk is made into butter, cheese and yoghurt.
This series encourages children to be environmentally aware by understanding where their food comes from. Each book is full of information that has been fact checked, yet presented in a simple and stylish way to spark the interest of both young children and adults. There is a simple quiz and fun facts at the end to explain more about dairy farming and produce, and this new edition includes a gallery of cow breeds and a simple recipe using milk.
