We are dependent on farm animals for so many of the things that we use in our daily lives. Eggs, milk, cheese, meat, leather, and wool are just a few from the long list of contributions. This informative series examines some of our most familiar farm animals and explores the roles they have played in agriculture over the years. Readers will learn what each animal eats, how it interacts with other animals, and how it grows from a suckling to an adult. Every book features interesting sidebars that highlight the agricultural significance of the animal in focus.
