This book has a great story line about a little boy (Pierre) and girl (Valerie) who grow up on a cow farm. The little boy's cow is named Melody and she is getting too old now to produce the amount of milk needed compared to the other cows. However, Pierre is so disappointed when he over hears his dad saying that he will be selling Melody at the end of the summer because she is not producing enough milk for even a chocolate bar.
