Help Little Chick look for Mummy Hen in Who's Hiding on the Farm?
Lift the felt flaps to see where she is. Which other animals will
you find hiding underneath? With soft flaps on every spread that
are easy for babies to lift, helping them develop fine motor
skills, and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, bestselling illustrator
of The Gruffalo, this is the perfect gift to share with little
ones. Discover more animal adventures from Axel Scheffler: Freddy
the Frog, In the Jungle and My First Search and Find: On the Farm.
Ten-year-old Danny yearns for responsibility and a chance to prove
his skills. He desperately wants to pitch in and ease the
difficulties that pioneer life presents to his family as they
manage their large fruit and livestock farm in 1894.
Life on the farm is hard, though, and Danny, with his unusually
small stature, struggles to gain strength to help his father and
the hired hands. After all, there are difficult chores to tackle:
chopping and hauling wood, caring for the workhorses, slopping the
pigs, and hunting food.
With sheer determination, Danny takes on everything his father
allows, working hard to help ensure his family's well-being. What
Danny comes to realize, though, is that it's not a person's size
that counts. When he confronts a rogue cougar, runaway horses, and
a classroom bully, Danny must use his wits, sensibilities, and
instincts to prevail.
Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder will find Danny's adventures
particularly satisfying. Come along with Danny as he learns about
both the harsh realities and simple pleasures of rural life in New
York.
From the first day at a new school, Lisa and her bossy classmate, Angel, begin playing a series of mischievous tricks on each other, with the class guinea pigs as unwitting accomplices, until the teacher steps in.

First paperback edition in this topical non-fiction collection
about sustainability, now expanded to include new material. A child
follows a day in the life of Milly the cow, as she munches grass
with her friends, drinks gallons of water, makes cow pats in the
field, and visits the milking parlour with her farmer. Milly's milk
is made into butter, cheese and yoghurt. This series encourages
children to be environmentally aware by understanding where their
food comes from. Each book is full of information that has been
fact checked, yet presented in a simple and stylish way to spark
the interest of both young children and adults. There is a simple
quiz and fun facts at the end to explain more about dairy farming
and produce, and this new edition includes a gallery of cow breeds,
and a simple recipe using milk

One big tractor, shiny and new. One small tractor, rusty and
blue... TRACTOR TRACTOR is the second book in a series of
lift-the-flap books about the humorous goings-on at Funny Farm.
Each book has an early-learning aspect and TRACTOR TRACTOR is all
about opposites. It has sliders too, so children can make the
tractors move forward and back, fast and slow. It's harvest time
and Red arrives shiny, fast and strong. Blue is an old faithful -
small and rusty but wise and calm. So when Red decides to race home
after a hard day's harvesting, Blue lets him go, only to find Red
in a ditch, no longer shiny and clean but the dirtiest - and
smelliest! - tractor he's ever seen. A warm-hearted story that
shows, despite being opposites, young and old can make a great
team, and be the very best of friends. The Funny Farm series is
beautifully produced with matt laminated and embossed covers and
sturdy board pages. It also includes Cluck, Cluck, Duck, a counting
lift-the-flap book.
