Bill Slavin.
In 1933, Emmadine the cow volunteers for Admiral Byrd's expedition to the South Pole to have something to tell her grandcows. The ocean voyage, the ice, the long days that become long nights, and the native animals all amaze her. Clad in her woolen socks, scarf, and uddermuff, Emmadine returns home a hero. Detailed, textured illustrations add verve to this light fantasy.
