Dadblamed Union Army Cow

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kimberly Bulcken Root. When a man joins the Union Army, his cow follows him into battle. At first he thinks the cow is a nuisance, but after the man is injured, the cow proves invaluable by providing milk for all the hospitalized soldiers. The colloquial language gives the story, inspired by a real Civil War–era cow, a down-to-earth flavor, and the illustrations add humor.
