Celebrate June Dairy Month with this month's Read and STEAM book pairing! This month's AITC book of the month is "Tales of the Dairy Godmother: Chuck's Ice Cream Wish" by Viola Butler.

In this fairy tale twist from Feeding Minds Press, Chuck gets his wish granted – p**f! – by his Dairy Godmother. She transports Chuck onto his very own dairy farm – because what better way to have all the ice cream you could ever eat? With humor and heart, Chuck learns how farmers care for cows, what cows eat, and what happens to all that milk. Through his journey, Chuck gains an even deeper love and appreciation for his favorite food.

Young readers will love this β€œdairy tale” that details the inner workings of a dairy farm and what it takes to be a dairy farmer – and where ice cream comes from.
