.....farm stories with a
difference.
This series of books for children is based on the lives of real, live
animals.
|
"The
Naughty Seven"
Book One tells the story of the day PigPig, the 700
pound sow, learned she was to have visitors. PigPig learns an important
lesson on the dangers of eavesdropping. While this story has some
imaginary additions, i.e. PigPig's nightmare, the characteristics of the
animals and the arrival of 'the Naughty Seven' are based on true
events. |

THE AIM OF THIS SERIES OF BOOKS IS
TO HELP CHILDREN MATURE INTO COMPASSIONATE PET
OWNERS.
These stories are told as the animals
may have experienced them. We believe that if
children are encouraged to put themselves in their pet's place, they
will develop more understanding of how it would feel to be a dog or
cat. This can only lead to realizing that a life lived on the
end of a chain is not acceptable. A pet kept with no bonding
friendship established with its owner is not a happy pet.
During author visits to schools, children meet at
least one of the 'Grovehill Gang' animals, and are encouraged to
write stories about their own pets.
As one young boy wrote "I used to think of dogs
in one way, and now I think of them in a whole new way."
A family pet should
be just that - a member of the family.

"Jake's Lunch"
Book Two in the series stars the dogs - Springer
Spaniels, an Australian Shepherd cross and a little yellow lab. Jake, the
Aussie, had an incredible appetite as a puppy. The day this story takes
place is one that won't easily be forgotten on Grovehill
Farm! |

"Cattle Drive!"
Book Three in the series features the three
Grovehill Farm horses and the cows taking the leading roles. It sounded
like an easy task at the time...just herd a couple of cattle up the gravel
road to the farm. Well, horses are not as brave as you might think and the
job did not quite go according to plan.

"Repo's Story"
Book Four will be available in the
spring of 2005. While the first three books have been funny and
light-hearted, 'Repo's Story' will be more serious. It tells the
story of one little puppy who needed to be repossessed after finding
himself in a less-than-desirable home. This book stresses again, the need
for a companionable, loving relationship between animals and the people in
their lives.

The
stories are not sequential so children can enjoy reading about these storybook heroes
