Rosa Farm -- what a pleasant journey

i found this an endearing journey on strength and courage--masterfully told. the fashionable and spirited Pepina by far my favorite protagonist. i look forward to reading this tale over and over to the delight of my nieces and nephews. i look forward to buying and gifting more copies of Rosa Farm and to Ms Wu's next work!

Fun black and white drawings by Matt Phelan accent a funny barnyard drama.

When Gallileon's father leaves for the county fair, it's up to Gallileon to wake up the sun by crowing - but his first successful attempt becomes a fiasco as some sly geese play trick on him and the sun vanishes at high noon. Can Gallileon discover the truth and save the day? Fun black and white drawings by Matt Phelan accent a funny barnyard drama.

Wonderful book!

I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for my nephew, but read it before I wrapped it up. It's a fantastic story that's sure to please young readers (it made me happy, and I'm a grown-up). Great idea for a first "chapter book".

Great Family Read

This book is fun, cute and a great family read. A great bed time story or rainy day book. Quick read also. Great holiday gift!
