Official World Book Day GBP1 book From Michael Morpurgo, co-founder
of the charity Farms for City Children, this charming story for
early readers evokes the wonder, muck and magic of a week on the
farm. The first of many Farm Tales to come, it is a window onto the
countryside, and the way its landscape and animals can leave an
impression on a child's heart forever. 'You're farmers for a week,
so you'll be busy. There'll be no time to miss home. You'll eat
like kings and queens, sleep like logs, and you'll hardly be out of
your wellies, except in bed.' When a young boy goes from the city
to stay on the farm, he discovers a world he never knew existed - a
world of vegetable gardens, ducks and geese, where the sheep graze
in the fields, where apples and pears grow in the orchard. He also
meets Jemima the pig: she smells and she slobbers, she breaks out
of her pen to steal potatoes, and she's the undisputed queen of the
farm. Soon, he's hiding acorns in his pockets to feed to her every
time he sees her. But then, Jemima starts to feel ill. Could she
have eaten too many acorns? Or does this queen of a pig have a
secret...?
