Customer Reviews

Informative and fun

Nora helps her grampa gather sap to make maple syrup. Together, the collect the sap and pour it into big buckets. They pour the big buckets into a tank on a horse drawn sleigh, and the horses haul the tank down to the sugar shack. Nora is concerned that the horses get a maple treat to reward them for their hard work. The book is quite informative and engaging. The story is not at all scary. The book has about 1000 words.

A tasty treat

If you've need had the chance to make maple sryup for yourself then this book will be the closest way to experience the joy of winter in New England. Once again Nora and Gramps have a farm adventure that makes you wish you lived with them! The beautful pictures show details in the horses that jump out at you.
