A fresh new look for the first picture book to feature Barbara Reid's signature Plasticine artwork! First published in 1984, this heartwarming story about a new baby calf's first seasons, and the mother cow that loves him through all of his first steps, is a true Canadian classic. It has the added distinction of being the first book to feature the award-winning artwork style of Barbara Reid! Now, with a fresh new cover, Edith Newlin Chase's beautiful poem, can be introduced to a new generation of mothers and babies, celebrating the simple, unconditional nature of parental love.

A classic Canadian picture book is now a bright, sturdy board book! "Buttercup the cow had a new baby calf, a fine baby calf, a strong baby calf..." She licks him, feeds him, and encourages him until he learns to walk and run and play. A bestseller since it was first published in 1984, this simple, gentle story of mother love is now in board book form, perfect for the moms who read it growing up to share with their own new little babies. The New Baby Calf was Barbara Reid's first book in her now trademark Plasticine style. Published to great acclaim, it has never been out of print.

Before cows make milk, they drink it. Young babies often down two full gallons a day! In this book, take a trip to the countryside to see cute calves quenching their thirst and more in the pasture and the barn. Will you find a calf with a milk mustache?

The book is the story of the first day in the life of a new baby calf.

With expressive illustrations by Diane deGroat, a delicious recipe from Ree Drummond, and the hilarious antics of Charlie, this hardcover picture book is an excellent gift. There's nothing that makes Charlie's soul rejoice more than naps and bacon. But when his daily routine of eating and sleeping is interrupted by a new baby calf, Abigail, Charlie is not happy. Things go from bad to worse when Charlie sees everyone rubbing Abigail's belly instead of his; feeding her instead of him; and tucking Abigail in at the end of the day—in Charlie's bed! Will Charlie be able to adjust to the new addition? A sweet and funny follow-up to the New York Times bestselling picture book Charlie the Ranch Dog from Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman.
