Sally the black Labrador has never been on a farm before, so she has a lot to learn. But with the help of a golden retriever named Molly, Sally takes to country life like a duck to water: she helps milk a cow, plough the fields, and eats fresh apple pie.
I introduced my 4-5 year old preschool students to Sally while doing the pet/vet theme in the classroom. The pictures in Stephen Huneck's books are large and clear and the text is easy to understand. The students were so surprised to see Sally again in the winter story and now in this farm book. I can't wait to read them the next one before summer-Sally Goes to the Beach!
Very simple,Very clever, Very funny

This book is for dog lovers and kids. Its great pictures and simple phrases exactly describes what our black lab does (right down to the 'worried' look on her face!), and therefore we found this book very funny. However we have shown this book to non dog lovers. They just give polite smiles/puzzled looks and change the subject!! So I guess if you know what catagory your in you'll know whether or not this book is for you!
