Mr. Pickle loves to eat at least one pickle with almost every meal. He has loved pickles since he was a little boy. Mr. Pickle wants to go to the special island where his grandfather claims pickles are made. So he goes for a short vacation to Pickle Island to see cucumber farming and pickle processing. On his journey he meets: a sea captain and sailors, a hula girl, a dock master, a hotel owner, a tour group with adults and children, some farmers, a factory manager and his workers.At the end of the story, a page of fun ideas for the pickle lover is provided so children can learn more.

“Where the Seed Is Planted,” so grows the harvest, each in its own time and place. Parents nurture their off-spring as best they can. Then their environment takes over, molding them into the likeness of their leaders.A Russian girl, a German boy, and an American girl were typical of their cultures, parallel in time, yet totally different in their beliefs. They patterned themselves after their idols, their heroes---Stalin, Hitler, and Roosevelt.The world is very complicated, but not for a child. That is, not until the nurturing environment turns them into pawns, and launches them into the greatest war man has ever known.

Meet MacCoo, a loving and curious Highland Coo, who one day plucks up the courage to step across the brook that divides his familiar pasture from the rest of the world. He goes in search of Sherlee but finding her is only the beginning of his adventures. On his travels, he will learn many things: how to stand up to bullies, the importance of friendship, the joy of competition, and how to say goodbye. Meetings with a new herd as well as a wish-granting magical cow await him, before he returns home to find the greatest treasure of all—the unconditional love of his family. While the young Coo’s story and accompanying illustrations will appeal even to the very young, they will resonate particularly with children between 5-9 years old, who are beginning to be introduced to new experiences outside of the home. The Get-A-Way is the first of a series of adventures featuring the endearing MacCoo.
