Once Upon a Farm

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Grade level: PreS-2
Illustrator: Ted Rand

" A beautiful story about a vanishing way of life. Warmth and humor fill the pages as a farm boy recalls, in verse, many family-shared moments-stargazing, eating Mama's ice cream, and jumping the fence to escape a butting goat.... Strong verbally and visually, this book is definitely worthy of purchase." School LIbrary Journal
