The Year at Maple Hill Farm

Having dreamed of owning and running a farm almost from the time we were newlyweds, I always have to breathe a sigh whenever I read this book.  Of course, I am quite idealistic and imagine that farm life would only be all the beautiful times depicted in it.  We know it's harder than it looks.  But I still find myself wishing.

This book takes you through the season's changes and the animals' lives throughout a year at the farm.  I found out that "Maple Hill Farm" is actually the authors' home.

The Twelve Days of Christmas by Laurel Long

What I liked about this book was the artwork, which shows you the things that are mentioned in the lyrics.
