The Year at Maple Hill Farm, by Alice and Martin Provensen and also Our Animal Friends,
bring back to my mind such precious, warm nostalgia.
We use to gather many books from the library each week with many repeats as each of us had our favorites. We spent many an hour reading and rereading by our selves and to each other. These two books were such favorites. The children would comb over the pictures and relish each time they would be read to them---eventually they would read the books themselves.
The simple pictures, the relating of what is normal on the farm and in nature, and the silly humor will capture your attention.
Those days are so long ago. The library we borrowed from has probably sold those worn books at a book sale decades ago. But we have our own copies now and I have given so many of them as gifts through these many years.
I can still hear the soft giggles of our little people as we enjoyed these books together.
