Little Farmer Joe
Ian Whybrow, Christian Birmingham
Paperback
(Kingfisher, March 20, 2003)
When Joe stays with Aunt Bee and Uncle Will on their farm, he's more than a little afraid of all the different animals and the new and unfamiliar scene. "I'm not scared!" he asserts with all the bravado he can muster. Then, one moonlit night, Uncle Will needs his help to deliver a lamb, and Joe learns to overcome his fears. By the time Mom and Dad come to get him, Joe is proud to show off his new baby lamb-and his newfound confidence! Children will identify and sympathize with Joe in this warm and tender portrayal of a small boy's first experience of spending time away from his parents.
