, 1st ed edition
Dust jacket notes: "The crackling of fire in a wood stove, the pungent smell of a barn; the simple sounds of ducks and geese, the sloshing of a wooden spoon in rich cake batter; the warm sweet fragrance of gingerbread baking; the rewarding fun of a happy family project; the love of a boy for an injured gull; the jealousy of an old farm horse for the new young colt - make these simple, down-to-earth stories the kind that children will want to read and read again. Illustrated in color and in black and white."
