Zaniness abounds in this picture book about a series of mistaken identities. While in search of a friend, the cat bumps into an elf. The elf needs rain to test his umbrella, but the only drops he finds are a bear’s tears. This poor bear is looking for something too: his lost boot. Unfortunately, he discovers a dog instead. Hunting down these missing treasures gets harder and harder as each pursuit reveals something entirely different. Though no one gets what they were hoping for, this wacky chain of events leads to a happy ending. A group of characters has found one another and a good time!

Farmer Brown has gone to town to run some errands, and while he’s away, the animals will play. Maude, the cow, decides that she will help the farmer with his chores by hopping on his tractor and driving through the fields to feed the other animals and perform other barnyard chores. However, no sooner does Maude take off on the tractor when she crashes into a haystack and falls off. Morris, the sheep, wants to get in on the action so when Maude flies off the tractor during the crash, he takes over at the wheel and the wild ride gets even wilder. Imagine Farmer Brown’s surprise when he returns to see all the chaos Maude and Morris have created. As this hilarious story is read, kids can manipulate a movable tractor piece along a slotted path through the pages of the book€”just as if they were riding the tractor with Cow and Sheep.

As the nineteenth century progressed, along with many other trappers, Hamilton found himself drawn into the Indian Wars brought about by territorial expansion.Exploring, trapping, trading and fighting, Hamilton shows how every aspect of a mountain man's life relied on his wits and knowledge in order survive the inhospitable environments.First published in 1905, when the experiences of such pushing, adventurous, and fearless men were becoming a thing of the past, Hamilton's unassuming memoir relates an extraordinary life in a disappearing American West.
