The New Baby Calf

A fresh new look for a classic Canadian picture book!

“Buttercup the cow had a new baby calf, a fine baby calf, a strong baby calf…”First published in 1984, this heartwarming story about a new baby calf’s first seasons, and the mother cow that loves him through all of his first steps, is a true Canadian classic. A bestseller since it was first published, this simple, gentle story of mother love has a fresh new cover, and  Edith Newlin Chase’s beautiful poem can be introduced to a new generation of mothers and babies, celebrating the simple, unconditional nature of parental love.

The New Baby Calf was Barbara Reid’s first book in her now trademark Plasticine style. Published to great acclaim, it has never been out of print.
