Even
on Christmas Eve, a farmer's work continues. Casey lives on a farm
with her animal and equipment friends. They're all looking forward to
Christmas: decorating the farm, making cookies, putting up stockings,
and preparing for the celebration.
On
Christmas Eve Casey still has to feed the animals, and when a fence
needs mending she has to take care of it. On top of all the work,
Casey feels ill and falls asleep before the preparations for
Christmas are complete. It could be a very disappointing Christmas,
but Casey has good friends on the farm.
I
love stories about farms probably because I grew up on one and live
on one. If you don't live on a farm, it's hard to envision how much
work has to be done every day to keep the animals fed, the equipment
working, and the fences mended. This is a good book for children. It
shows them a different way of life, unless they live on a farm.
The
book has a good message about the importance of friends and family.
The illustrations are cheerful and the text is easy for older
children to read, or to read to younger children.
I
highly recommend this book for part of your Christmas collection.
I
received this book from PR by the Book for a review.
