I had no idea there were so many kinds of cow, or that cows could be so interesting. The author provides short but detailed summaries of 52 breeds, including a physical description, a drawing of both cow and bull, a description of their usefulness and a history of the breed. Peppered throughout are some very funny cartoon illustrations as well as random cow trivia -- for instance, Brahman cows do not moo but grunt. I think 9-to-12s with an interest in animals would like this as well as adults; there's plenty to go around. I've added the author's :A Field Guide to Pigs to my to-read list, in hopes that it will be as good as this one was. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I'm watching Bizarre Foods-Jamaica right now. The guy is talking about how chicken and bull-foot soup with pieces of cow skin is a perfect marriage of collagen and fat and just delicious. I'd rather have the cows in the garden, screwing noisily, stoned on magic mushrooms than in a pot. ( )
