I immediately fell in love with the illustrations in this book. The images add extra story to what you are reading and taking time to really look at the beautiful pictures is a must for this book. As you follow the journey of how milk is made you actually take a look it at more then just dairy milk which I thought was an interesting aspect to this book. I wish there was maybe a bit more information about each process or milk type but the rhyming text and shortness of prose on the pages will hold the interest of younger readers. This book would make a great read a loud with discussion about what the children are seeing on each page. All in all a very enjoyable read and recommended for a food unit study or farm study. Perfect for children ages 3 to 6.

Delightful illustrations and prose simply show many animals and plants that make milk for us to drink and be healthy.
The illustrations by Evelline Andrya are simple, perfect in bright colors, and definitely evoke the origins of the food known as milk.
Well suited for reading WITH someone any age including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, waiting room, or your local public library.

Super cute. Very well done. It would even work for storytime. Great pictures. Melodic words. Loved it. I would totally use it in a milk storytime.

Ahhhh, Milk is a refreshing book for readers on one of the most delicious drinks all creatures share - MILK! What a creative way of story telling paired along with the learning of many different ways that milk is made. I especially liked the informational pages at the end of the book that I read as a reference to the plants and animals that make milk. It even lists many benefits to certain types of milk for those who drink it. Hopefully this book will be a refreshing quench of your knowledge thirst learning all about this delicious drink.

Thank you to #GnomeRoadPublishing and #NetGalley for an Advanced Reader Copy to Enjoy and review #AhhhMilk .

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

This book gives information on ALL types of milk- not just from animals (and it mentions multiple animals) but plant based milks too. It is colorful and interesting, full of fun facts for all ages.

Truly gorgeous illustrations with a fun rhyming story that helps describe the wide variety of milk available for drinking.

It was beautifully illustrated, and and interesting primer. It didn't have much substance, though, and would be interesting to a very niche audience. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read!

Simple yet educational book about different kinds of milk. The illustrations were so good. What made me so happy is that the illustrator, Evelline Andrya, is Indonesian (like me!) hahaha I don't know why, but I am so proud of her and her illustrations.
My son liked this book because he enjoyed the illustrations and the simple information about all the milk he has been drinking and has not tried yet. At the end of this book, he wanted to try moose milk 😅 Where the fridge I find moose milk in Indonesia? 😭

Thank you so much to Abbe Starr, Gnome Road Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC.

I want to start off by saying that I love the overall concept of this book, which is a great way to introduce food diversity to children. The poems are lovely and roll well together, providing some good movement activities for read-alouds. The pictures are bright and detailed in depicting the areas and regions where each of the different milk types are found. Children who drink any of the alternative/nondairy milks will be happy to see what they drink represented, which can spark discussion among groups of children about the types of milk they drink and why. There's also an opportunity here for parents and caregivers to use this book on food shopping trips; looking to see if they can find milks similar to the ones shown here.

That being said, I think that the execution of the book's concept needs a little more work, mainly in the explanatory language about how the different forms of milk are produced. The notes at the end of the book are helpful. However, slightly more detailed poems for each mammal and process would help children get a better understanding of how these milks are made and/or harvested. As of now, the poems seem a little detached from the illustrations as they describe the processes in more general, abstract terms. Details about how plant-based milks are turned from plants to drinks or how milk gets from a cow (or buffalo) to the table would be a great addition for children.

Moreover, I think it should be explained to children that while we refer to these drinks as "milk," they're technically not because they are plant-based. This doesn't take away from their importance or taste, nor does it make them lesser. But facts are important; clarifying and making that distinction between milk that comes from a mammal and "milks" that are made by other means is a good educational opportunity for children. It is also a necessary one if this is intended as a nonfiction book.


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, Gnome Road Publishing, for this DRC in exchange for a fair and honest review. The thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.

A fun and informative look (with lovely illustrations!) at the many ways that milk is made. From cows and goats to rice and coconuts, our milk comes to us from all different places in all different ways, and this book does a great job of explaining that in an engaging way.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love this inclusive book about milk, that looks at various ways we get milk, parts of the world where milk comes from various animals, and how oats, nuts, coconuts and rice are harvested to make milk. Kids with allergies can feel included as they learn where their milk comes from, and kids who think milk only comes from cows will be in for a surprise.

This is a fun, informative picture book that would make a great read-aloud before taste testing different kinds of milk!

Thank you for the ARC. As a girl who grew up on a dairy farm, I was exited to read this with my son. The illustrations were great, the rhymes were fun and it was a neat book about all the types of milk that can be made, not just from a cow.

Love this book. The writing is melodious and takes you from page to page. I love the inclusion of so many different kinds of milk and the tying in of the fact that we get them all from nature. Very informative while still enjoyable and fun to read. The extra section in the back with a bunch of other milks is awesome. I had no idea that Reindeer and Water buffalo milk were things people consumed and that they were so healthy.

What a great read aloud! This book is such a fun exploration of milk that shows kids how this essential food is produced. I instantly loved the rhythm of the story. The emphasis on the onomatopoeia was my 3-year-old son's favorite part of the book.

Personally, I loved the illustration, style, and design of this book. I feel that this aspect was really well thought out and lends itself to the lyrical flow of the book. The story itself is engaging and fun, while still being very educational! The book not only introduces children to the diversity of milk but also highlights the importance of agriculture and community in food production. One of the standout features of the book is its ability to present complex concepts in such a simple, relatable way. As a parent, I also appreciate how it encourages discussions about where our food comes from! It certainly sparked some curiosity for my son.

We're a dairy-free household because of my son's food allergies so he really appreciated the different sources of milk too, including cashews, rice, and oats. It might have not been its primary intention for its inclusion, but it made my son feel more included (indirectly) in this book as he was excited to see the milks that he drinks on a daily basis. It really means a lot to me as a food allergy parent when my son's lifestyle is more represented.

My son and I really loved reading this book. I think it would make a wonderful read aloud in a group setting as well.

Huge thanks to the author and publisher for the ARC of this book. It was truly a delight.
