The Day Dad Blew up the Cowshed - Children’s Book

Blowing up a cowshed - this farm tale really happened! In the 1960s and 70s it wasn’t unusual for returned servicemen and their farmer sons in New Zealand to blow things up. For Jennifer and Margery, growing up on a farm in Hawkes Bay, blowing up the cowshed was a momentous event in their childhood. Here is the story just as they experienced it – vivid in detail, action and unforeseen consequences!

Dramatic and hilarious, this true Kiwi story comes with an educational section on the invention of the first rotary cowshed in New Zealand by a Taranaki dairy farmer.
