Tradition in the milk industry and technology in preservation clash

A fascinating picture book for middle elementary age that tells the story from a young boys point of view of the life on a dairy farm that has horse and wagon delivery service. They are skeptical of new methods of processing milk. "Pasturization is just a fad,' the father declares. When the little girl gets sick of undulant fever typically carried by raw milk the family reconsiders their ideas on processing milk. An excellent story for a book report that needs a science or health theme. A good read aloud for classroom or families. ( )
