A new book in our Hoard's Dairyman bookstore, Once There Were No Cows, is a retelling of the Creation story and how God chose the cow specifically to be the Foster Mother of the Human Race. No other animal would provide this type of life, satisfaction and sense of accomplishment to man, besides the cow. She's regal, stylish, sophisticated and hardworking.
Once There Were No Cows steps back in time to when the Creator was forming the earth and all within it. Yet, He still felt the world was missing something. "God wanted an animal that would give more than it would take. An animal that would work as hard as man, offering him a foundation on which to raise a family and teach his children about responsibility and reward, to give them strong roots and prepare them for life. God wanted an animal that would be appreciated and loved intensely because of the profound impact she would have on all mankind . . . a living thing that would bring out the best in man and make him smile. One that would provide a livelihood of toil and labor that could be both enjoyable and meaningful."
The book includes 16 new and original paintings by Bonnie Mohr that bring this hardcover book to life. A great addition to your child or grandchild's library, you can order your copies of Once There Were No Cows by Bonnie Mohr at www.hoards.com/bookstore/NOCO and be sure to view similar products that include prints of some images inside the book.
