About the Book

Veronica and the Very Noisy Bell

Set in the peaceful green fields of the Austrian Alps, Veronica and the Very Noisy Bell follows Veronica, a thoughtful Swiss Brown cow who is always paying attention.

Around her neck hangs a shiny silver bell that makes a loud CLING-CLANG! wherever she goes. While the other animals sometimes wish it were quieter, Veronica isn’t so sure it’s a problem at all.

When one of her friends finds themselves in trouble, Veronica discovers that the very thing that seems inconvenient might actually be her greatest strength.

A Story About Hidden Strengths

Veronica and the Very Noisy Bell reminds children that sometimes the thing we feel unsure about — the thing that makes us stand out — can become the very thing that helps others most.

Through gentle storytelling and farmyard charm, Veronica shows that confidence doesn’t have to be loud… even if your bell is.

Did you know?



Veronica’s story began in the real world!
In Austria, high in the mountains, scientists once met a very clever cow who surprised everyone. This cow used tools — like sticks and brooms — to scratch herself in smart ways.
She even used different ends of the same broom for different kinds of scratches! The scientists were amazed.
They realised that cows might be much smarter than people had thought. Veronica in this book is a make-believe character, but her curiosity and clever thinking were inspired by that real cow.
Sometimes, the most amazing ideas come from simply noticing what’s around you. So next time you have a problem, look around.
You might already have just the thing you need!

Loved the illustrations, so graphic

I had the kids sitting behind as I read it because they wanted to see the images while I was reading.

Luckily the Paperback version is such a great size because the children could easily see all the pictures.
