This introduction to the life of a working farm dog focuses on a day in the life of a border collie named Cadi. The Baker family lives on a farm with livestock including cows, turkeys, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, and rabbits. The family, who present white, includes a mom and dad and six children ranging in age from about 3 through the late teens. Cadi's work herding cows is described in simple terms, illustrated with photographs showing the dog in action. Cadi is also shown interacting with the family's children and the other animals, getting a bath, and riding in the farm truck. While the storyline is centered on Cadi's important job herding cows, it also provides an introduction to farm life and farm products such as eggs, milk, and vegetables (but not meat). Some aspects that are not covered are the family's home and their barn and the dog's diet in addition to the milk she is shown drinking. The book's appealing design includes bold backgrounds of purple and bright green, a large type size, and high-quality photographs. The concluding pages include an introduction to the family with all the children's names, more about Cadi's lifestyle, and two pages of informative tips on taking care of animals in general. The photo-illustrated story is geared to a preschool audience while the concluding pages are written at a slightly higher level. An intriguing introductory look at a real farm family and their helpful dog. (Picture book. 2-6) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
