This is more than a simple story of a boy’s experiences on his grandmother’s farm. It is beautifully written and full of quiet wisdom and the sweet relationships among the humans and the critters and the wonders of the natural world.

I rarely ever give a book 5 stars.

Cute short stories :)

This is a cute little kids book about life on a farm in the country. There's a quote in the back from the main character, J.D., that says, " I wonder why people say the country is boring?" His grandmother replies, "Maybe because they've never been here before." I think that about sums up country living!
