Books with title Growing Up on the Farm

My book traces the life of a newborn fawn born on a deer farm from the fawns perspective. It starts out from his birth with his twin sister and tells how he is changed from a wild deer to a tame deer. Farmer Joe bottle feeds and loves the fawn very much and takes over being a mother figure for the fawn. Next the fawn is introduced to real deer feed (corn, oats, molasses, and vitamins). He still is bottle-fed for at least four months and has a lot of special attention and love. As the fawn grows and loses his beautiful spots, he develops his first set of antlers. The book describes how every year he will lose his antlers and grow new ones even bigger. A lot of DEER terms are used in the book to educate the young reader to the life of a deer and how he develops, such as buck, doe, antler, button buck, deer velvet, points, tines, etc. The photographs in the book are the actual pictures taken on our deer farm.

This book beautifully illustrates how the kerosene lamp was used in place of electricity. It took many years to manually dig the holes for electric poles, and to hand-stretch wires-- from one pole to the other-- all over the United States. The author describes how scary it was to use the outhouse during the evening hours: when it was dark outside. A wood burning iron stove was used for cooking. She shows how the family worked hard together to make the farm profitable. The climax of the illustrates how awesome it was to experience electric lighting in the house for the first time (kinda like the younger generation seeing the internet for the first time). The final page illustrates how people later created more, and more things with electricity: including your television set, when none exsisted! It's amazing to the author's generation how many children today believe that electricity always existed; and how surprised they are today that "people" made electricity.

The book tells the story of a whitetail fawn and how he grows up to be a BIG BUCK while living on a deer farm. It takes place on Farmer Joe's Deer Farm and the fawn (Zack) tells the story of what happens in his life as soon as he is born. It traces his life from being bottle-fed to eating of his deer feed and eating out in the pasture. Many concepts are taught about the whitetail deer from when he loses his spots and when and how the antlers fall off. It is quite an educational book explaining such terms as velvet, button bucks, rack, tines, sheds and other facts explaining the whitetail's growth and development from birth to becoming a BIG BUCK.
