Just how extensive is your or your children's knowledge of farm
animals? Are you able to name which animal gives so many of us wool
for our clothing? Or what a boy chicken is called? Or which animal
has its own set of shoes? Farms are a major part of many countries
and they have provided many different types of food and resources.
Naturally, one of the most important parts of any farm is the
variety of animals that inhabit it. With fewer family farms,
children may be fascinated by but not know much about farm animals.
Children who aren't familiar with animals on a farm are sure to
love learning about them, and how they provide for us. From
chickens, cows, and horses, to rabbits and more, you'll find a wide
variety of questions on all sorts of farm animals presented in a
fun and interactive way. The book is designed not only as a game,
but as a picture book for younger children. The pictures allow for
a greater level of interactivity and education as the kids play and
can relate questions back to the pictures.
Daniel is a beautiful, chestnut Thoroughbred who was caught up in
the racing, jumping, and showhorse industries before he was two
years old. Because of his size and power, Daniel was pushed too
hard to perform well by an uncaring and thoughtless owner. After a
horse rescue took him in, Daniel's life changed dramatically. He
now lives a wonderful life with his forever family in rural
Connecticut. This is his story.
This is a book about what you need to know if you want to have a
horse. It is designed for young people in the age range 10-14, but
is flexible enough for other ages. It describes some of the
background of the horse, various aspects of choosing a horse, horse
care, and things one can do with a horse.
An easy-reading book about horses, with beautyful pictures in great
colors.
The little horse's chances were not good. Born prematurely on a
freezing night, the buckskin colt had to fight for his life. When
he was still a baby, Tecolote lost his mother. Would he be able to
find a horse to help him grow up and teach him the ways of the
herd? Would he ever know a friend who would love and protect him?
Be with Tecolote as he masters the challenges that young
horses--and young people--face as they grow up and become all
they're meant to be. Tecolote: The Little Horse That Could will
inspire children and adults alike. Join Sandy Nathan as she tells a
true tale of a young horse growing up straight and tall, a
youngster who will remind you of the child in us all. The
illustrations in this book are snapshots taken while Tecolote's
story was unfolding. In using snapshots, the author wanted to bring
you as close to the action as possible and introduce you to the
real Tecolote, Shambho, Rosie, and all the other horses of Rancho
Vilasa. This truly is Tecolote's scrapbook--welcome to his world.
The Three Little Pigs go green in the updated children's book The

the wolf purchasing an ecological home that has several modern
changes, and the winning pig hiring his two cousins. This is one
home that no one can huff and puff and blow the house down Richard

When she was little it was fun, however, being a teenager had
changed things. Every weekend her parents forced her to go camping
with them. Ann was so fed up with it all. She was trying to devise
a way in which she could convince her father that it was ok to let
her stay home. That was when her dad told the family that he had a
surprise for the whole family. It turned out that he had joined a
ranch. The whole family would now be camping at the Double D Ranch
EVERY weekend. The thought of becoming a member of some horse ranch
just about drove Ann crazy. She did not put much faith into the
idea. In fact "dorky" would be a word that she expected would
describe the ranch. Come along with Ann as you discover her view of
the Double D Ranch.
