bottle-fed to eating of his deer feed and eating out in the
pasture. Many concepts are taught about the whitetail deer from
when he loses his spots and when and how the antlers fall off. It
is quite an educational book explaining such terms as velvet,
button bucks, rack, tines, sheds and other facts explaining the
whitetail's growth and development from birth to becoming a BIG
BUCK.
A lost, frail puppy wanders onto a New York dairy farm in the
middle of a snowstorm. Sadie Jo wants to keep him, but her mother
doesn't approve. A Working farm is no place for sick dogs,
especially in winter How will Sadie Jo and her brothers manage to
keep the dog and have their mother's approval at the same time?
Dusty's Udder Luck is a captivating story based on real life
events. See how this German Shepherd becomes a valuable member of a
dairy farm family.
A Story of Hope and Kindness Against the Odds... Polly the foal has
a rough start in life; at just four days old, with an illness the
veterinarians proclaim to be fatal, she is rejected by her mother,
and her future is anything but bright. There's more to Polly than
meets the eye, though-and two young girls refuse to believe that
she is destined to die. Their determination to save the foal is
supported by the father of one of the girls, a physician who
remembers the amazing power of hope from lessons learned from the
battlefield. He promises to do everything possible to save Polly's
life. Against a lively background of family events-including the
birth of a litter of St. Bernard puppies, and the arrival of a new
baby-Polly's story unfolds, showing how the children and the doctor
alter the world around them by not automatically accepting existing
beliefs. When accompanied by respect, compassion, love, and
hope...a "disability" may turn out to be an exceptional ability.
This luminous story about focusing on what's right rather than
what's wrong shares a gentle, inspirational lesson about the
potential that can flourish despite developmental abnormalities.

Hi and a very warm welcome to "Horses" - (The Essential Guide To
Horses For Kids & Adults). I'm one of those people who loves to
hear about extraordinary facts or trivia about anything. They seem
to be one of the few things my memory can actually recall. I'm not
sure if it's to do with the shock or the "WoW" factor but for some
reason my brain seems to store it for a later date. I've always
been a great believer in that whatever the subject, if a good
teacher can inspire you and hold your attention, then you'll learn
Now I'm not a teacher but the system I've used in previous
publications on Amazon seems to work well, particularly with
children. This edition includes a selection of those "WoW" facts
combined with some pretty awesome pictures, if I say so myself At
the end there is a short "True or False" quiz to check memory
recall and to help cement some of the information included in the
book. Don't worry though, it's a bit of fun but at the same time,
it helps to check understanding. If you are an expert on horses
then it's unlikely you will find anything new here but if, like me,
you enjoy learning unusual facts with interesting pictures then I
hope you'll find it worthwhile. Let me know what you think using
the review page section. Feedback is crucial to any author but
please remember that I do have feelings. Enjoy the show Matt.

Visit a farm and learn about all the animals you can find there in
this delightful children's book written and illustrated by Lynne
Pickering. When Jane hears a strange noise on the farm, she wants
to find out which animal is responsible On her way to find out "who
done it," she learns about the different sounds that animals make.
Her question Is It you? is answered once Jane hears all the
animals. The author owned a childcare center and often wrote
stories and did puppet shows for the children. She says farm
stories were always popular. "When I obtained the little sheep toys
and the calico cows and the calico pigs, I thought they would be
gorgeous in a book. So I painted backgrounds of countryside and
obtained porcelain dolls, creating farm scenes for the characters."
This is her second children's book to be published. Another four
books are also being published. James and the Naughty Seagull,
James and the Greedy Naughty Seagull, James and the Jealous Naughty
Seagull, and The Magic Doorway (a fairy story). Lynne Pickering
resides in Warwick, Queensland, Australia. She paints art and
exports art worldwide. Most of her children's books were written
over ten years ago. She revised them and edited them to be
published. "We intend to open an art gallery and coffee shop at our
country retreat where friends can come and enjoy the many rare bird
species and wildlife." Publisher's website: http:
