Four Point Five Stars

Scout the goat is excited because Farmer Ray is to take them to the County Fair that day. But just as Scout’s luck would have it, before they start it starts pouring. They are all stuck in the barn. Scout is grumpy and sad. That is when he hears laughter and fun around him. The animals in the barn bring the Fair to the place and they have so much fun. Lovely illustrations and cute story of enjoying what is and having fun at something else when things don’t go according to plan. Good read for older children.

Possum’s strong tail would help Little Rabbit swing from the tallest tree. Bat’s wings would help Little Rabbit soar through the sky.

With warmth and wisdom, she reminds her little one of the unique traits that make him an essential part of the forest family. Then she gently sends him on his own magical journey to the moon by encouraging him to clos...
