Milly’s milk is then put into cartons and made into butter, cheese and yoghurt. There is a simple quiz at the back and some further information about cows and milk. Bright and stylish papercut art conveys the crucial message that producing food is hard work, and we must respect the animals and humans who produce it, and we must not waste it!
