Shamoo, A Whale of a Cow (Tr)

Most cows spend their lives in a pasture, happily chewing on grass, but not Shamoo. Shamoo yearned for something more, something like the sea. His desire to swim in the ocean leads him to Baleen, a six-ton hump-back whale who becomes both a friend and teacher. Will Shamoo stay with his new friend or return to the pasture? This lovely child-ren’s book from noted artist Ros Hill is filled with his beautiful color illustrations.
