Old MacDonald Had a Farm is the E-I-E-I-Oh! classic that introduces
baby to the world of farm animals and the different ways each has
of talking - the pig with his oink-oink, the cow with her moo-moo,
and the baa-baas, cluck-clucks and quack-quacks that fill the
farmyard.
The Three Little Pigs go green in the updated children's book The
Three Little Green Pigs, LLC: A Recycling Pig Tale. The descendants
of the original Three Little Pigs are now in the construction
business building green homes out of recyclable materials. A
contest pits the pigs against one another and the winner will be
able to build his home throughout the town. Using different
recyclable materials, the winning pig must satisfy the city
inspector (a descendant of the Big Bad Wolf ). The story ends with
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

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.
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
A subversive and hilarious spin on the well-loved fairy tale. The
three little wolves erect first a solid brick house. The big bad
pig comes along and when huffing and puffing fails to work, he uses
a sledgehammer to bring the house down. Next they build a home of
concrete: The pig demolishes it with his pneumatic drill. The three
little wolves choose an even stronger design next time round: They
erect a house, made of steel, barbed wire, armor plates and video
entry system, but the pig finds a way to demolish it too. It is
only when the wolves construct a rather fragile house made of
cherry blossoms, daffodils, pink roses, and marigolds that the pig
has a change of heart ... A great read for children who enjoyed The
Wolf's Story by Toby Forward. Kids aged 5 and up will enjoy this
hilarious, subversive and brilliant read aloud picture book. Eugene
Trivizas's text for The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig is
perfectly complemented by Helen Oxenbury's watercolour
illustrations. Eugene Trivizas has written over 100 books and is
the winner of more than twenty national and international prizes
and awards. His work has been adapted for stage, screen and radio.
Helen Oxenbury's warm and witty illustrations have charmed children

Wonderland, published by Walker Books, won the 2001 Kate Greenaway
