Wilhelmina Goes Wandering

By: John-Manuel Andriote

Narrated by: Lia Frederick

Wilhelmina Goes Wandering is based on the true story of a runaway cow in Connecticut. For five months, in 2011, the 800-pound Black Angus was the talk of the town as she was seen around Milford, Orange, and West Haven, hanging out and traveling with a herd of deer. Even the animal control experts thought "she" was a "he"...until, that is, they tried to capture "him". When she is eventually captured and relocated to another farm, an animal sanctuary in Oxford, Wilhelmina finds that her urge for adventures has been curbed by knowing she is finally accepted and loved by her new farmer friend Betty. Five- to nine-year-old listeners (grownups, too!) will fall in love with Wilhelmina and her animal and human friends, brought to colorful life in the book.
