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

With hens clucking in the henhouse, cows grazing in the fields,
rabbits hopping in the grass, ducklings paddling in the pond, pigs
rolling in the mud, and cocks crowing at the crack of dawn - there
are plenty of things to see and hear on the farm. This fact-filled
storybook introduces young children to the characteristics and
purposes of these fundamental farm animals. This title is part of
the My First Discovery paperback series - a unique collection of
beautifully illustrated information books for children aged 4 to 7,
with simple language to aid learning and realistic artwork to
inspire young minds. There are 8 transparent overlay pages, which
reveal hidden surprises and make the pages come alive. With free
access to a brand new audio app, children can listen and read along
at their own pace, page by page.
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
Meet a host of animals and discover the big machines that help
farmers grow and harvest their crops. With over 140 stickers of
cows, chickens, goats, ducks, tractors and much more to bring the
busy scenes to life.
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.
