Adventures with the Country Cousins Susan Curry

Join Little Sis and her big brother Buddy for a summer of adventure and growing up. A series of 26 wonderfully detailed drawings illustrate a 26 chapter storybook, and collectively tell the tale of the Adventures with the Country Cousins. (31 Drawings to Color including bonus pages) Growing up in the city is having a questionable influence on 10 year Buddy, so his parents send him, and his "Little Sis" to visit their country cousins, Uncle Roy, Aunt Rosie, and their kids Lucy and Ernie, on a farm for the summer. Here, they will learn about their proud family history, learn the care and feeding of the farm animals, and make plenty of new friends. Sis meets a real "Mother Goose," and helps give new life and purpose to an aging "Horsey" named Brandy. She feeds chickens and gathers eggs, learns about the foods in "The Veggie Garden" and even enters a "Watermelon" eating contest at the fair. Bud learns what COOL really is, and a piglet named Peaches teaches him that responsibility IS cool, and rewarding too. Perfect for all ages! Recommended reading level, 4th grade & above.
