Clarabelle (2007) By: Cris Peterson

This nonfiction book tells the story of a dairy cow named Clarabelle who lives on a farm in Wisconsin.  This book is full of exciting and informative photographs from a real family farm.  As a reader, I really enjoyed learning details about farm life and fun facts like Clarabelle's chewing produces nearly 30 gallons of saliva a day!  As a teacher, this book could be paired with lessons about farm animals, agriculture or renewable energy.  Students could also take a field trip to a real dairy farm.
