Prologue to Farm Country Tales

Imagine an era
that’s diff’rent from now,
When times were not better,
but pleasing, somehow.
It’s the year 1950,
when farming was done
By Mother and Father
and Daughter and Son.

by Gordon W. Fredrickson

“What did you see at the farm, children?” asks the school principal when a class returns from a field trip. But instead of describing what they actually witnessed on the farm, the children answer with their imaginations: dogs dance, chickens practice law, and cats play baseball in this colorful farmyard romp.

What I Saw on the Farm sings with fun rhyme and rhythm, which children will enjoy hearing and adults will enjoy reading again and again. Each imaginative illustration by twelve-year-old Bradley Simon appears with a photograph of the actual farm animal, making the book an accurate reference for children as well as an entertaining tale.
