Audrey (Cow)
Audrey is a cow with poetry in her blood, who yearns for the greener
pastures beyond Bittersweet Farms. But when Roy the horse tells this
bovine dreamer that she is headed for Abbot's War, the slaughter house,
Audrey knows that she must leave her home and friends sooner than she
ever imagined. With the help of a whole crew of animals and humans
alike, Audrey attempts to escape the farm she lives on--and certain
death. Cleverly written as an oral account, this unique illustrated tale
of an animal on the run, told "to camera," uses over thirty narrative
voices, including six humans, four cows, three sheep, two sheep dogs,
one pig and a very silly rooster. Full of heart and humor, "Audrey
(cow)" is ultimately a very human story about life and death,
friendship, and holding on to one's dreams--based more or less on a true
story.
