Under the Rooster Weathervane: Stories from a Maine Farm

by Freder, Barbara J Thornsjo

Overview

Long years ago, when all the world was different and things happened at a slower pace than they do today, there lived a family of people and animals that extended so far and wide that they would have reached into the next county if you placed them end to end... In a family that large, stories are always happening. Here are three short tales about cats and sheep and Most Mysterious wild creatures, all of them true, told in elegant watercolor and ink drawings from a talented Maine artist... evoking the simpler time when she lived on the little farm at the top of a rolling hill that sat Under the Rooster Weathervane. 32 pages in full color. Ages 4 - 8.
