The story isn't super engaging but this book is quite accurate in its imagery and Swiss traditions. I enjoyed reading it to my son, who was born in Switzerland, and teaching him about the things we did and saw when we lived there. They really do dress up the cows and herd them in a line up and down the Alps with the change of the seasons.
