Lucy Bell, Queen of the Pasture Series 

This is the fourth book in a series of children's books geared for the third grade level. However, many adults also enjoy the stories. It is centered around a real part-longhorn cow, named Lucy Bell, who lives on a real 100-acre ranch in Northeast Texas. There are numerous characters in this book that either live at the ranch or nearby. Farm animals and associated wildlife abound in this story. There are billy goats, dogs, cats, rats, squirrels, a catfish, turtles, raccoons, various birds, coyotes, a donkey, a mini-mule, porcupines, foxes, wolves, and, of course, other cows on the farm. Lucy Bell teaches about manners, personal responsibility, being considerate of others, and other social skills, as well as a good dose of humor. Readers learn about life on a busy and diverse ranch in a manner that is easy to read, understand and enjoy. - from Amzon
