An absolute gem!

This book is one of my son's absolute favorites, and mine too. It's very well written with great illustrations and depicts a wonderfully close family that shares work, meals, fishing and music.

time to get up!

Days on the farm start as soon as the sun risies. There are always chores to do. Animal must be fed and crops tended to. This family in the book workd ahrd and works together. At the end of the day there is even time for fishing and relaxing on the porch. The theem of the book is hard work always pays off in the end.
