Chilly Milly Moo

Milly Moo is miserable; she longs to produce tasty, creamy milk just like the other cows on the farm. The trouble is, for her at least, it’s just too hot (try taking off that bobble hat Milly) – not a single drop dribbles into the bucket. The future looks bleak for poor Milly. But, an overnight storm and a sudden drop in temperature change everything. Then it’s the turn of the other cows to envy Milly’s ice-cream making prowess. But, as she is quick to point out, everyone is special in their own different ways.

Fiona Ross (a new talent to watch) uses strong geometric patterns, whorls, shading and stippling in black overlaid with muted shades of greens, blues, browns and pinks in her droll and distinctive illustrations.
