Millie the cow stands patiently each morning as she is milked. Is she a perfectly contented cow? Perhaps not. Her real joy comes when the mail carrier delivers the mail and she is able to scare him off the farm. When her escapades result in the destruction of her own package as well as the mail carrier’s delivery bicycle, Millie adds something new to her daily routine— helping to deliver the mail. The humorous, expressive illustrations transport readers into Millie’s colorful world and detail her daily routine and fun. 2008 USBBY Outstanding International Books List. ca

Millie is unlike most other cows. She chews her cud and grazes in the fields with the others, but she doesn't enjoy that nearly as much as she loves scaring the mail carrier. It's too bad the mail carrier doesn't have as much fun each time Millie comes up with a new way to surprise him. Who knew delivering the mail was going to be such a difficult job?
