This book gave a good breakdown for students studying food and nutrition. This book also allowed to see how their favorite drink is processed. I would recommend this book to curious students who are interested in processed foods and where certain foods/drinks come from.

Summary:
This informational book is about how milk is made and the process the cow goes through to produce good milk. The books goes from the grazing process and how they feed them, milking them, and then a trip to the dairy. This books also informs children what other products are produced through
Personal Reaction:
I really liked this book it showed you the process of the milking process and what can be made from milk. The illustration also showed the process and gave you a mental picture as well. I remember my brother going to the Braum's factory and telling me all they saw they went to where the cows grazed, milking area, and then to the factory where they made the ice cream. I thought would have been really fun and exciting to go to.
Classroom Extension Ideas:
1) Bring a milk carton, cottage cheese carton, and cheese to class. Tell the students the process for each product and tell them that these products are great for building strong bones.
2)Milk’s Journey
Distribute the milk sequence pictures to 6 students; ask them to stand in front of the group with the picture facing the group. Ask for a volunteer (one not holding a picture) to identify the picture showing first step of milk’s journey (the cow) from the farm to consumption. Ask the child holding the cow picture to be first in line. Proceed until the six pictures are in the correct sequence showing milk’s journey from the farm to consumption.
3)Moovin’ with Milk (physical activity)
Ask students to stand. Have students touch their nose for each statement if they have never tasted or don’t like the food mentioned. Then follow the following statements:
1. Reach for the ceiling if you like milk.
2. Jog in place if you like to drink chocolate milk with lunch at school.
3. Pretend you’re hitting a tennis ball if you like cereal with milk on it.
4. Touch your elbow if you like cheese on crackers.
5. Flap your arms like a chicken if you like string cheese for a snack.
6. Hop in place if you like cheese pizza.
7. Act like you are skiing if you like yogurt in a tube.
