Good quick read. I found the story rather predictable, but I think it would suit young readers well. The story is a bit slow at times and filled with lots of unnecessary narration, but overall it had a good plot. The story gets a bit dark at times with a few instances of death and an awkward education of what foods are made from animals. Not recommended to sensitive animal-lovers. My vegetarian self winced a little at the discussions of hamburgers and bacon. Nothing too graphic but definitely would not recommend to children who do not know where beef comes from. This was a good educational work of fiction however. It goes through various information about cows and what goes in to showing cow and animals at fairs. Overall, it was a good book. Quick and simple.
