Tales of a Poultry Farm
Clara Dillingham Pierson
The farm is sold, and every hen, duck, and turkey has opinions about the new owner. Clara Dillingham Pierson lets the poultry yard narrate its own year: the Pekin duck steals a nest, the White Plymouth Rocks arrive, the first spring chickens hatch. Barnyard comedy with sound natural history underneath. Pull up a fence post and listen. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
