On the farm with Harry -- Book 1 -- The Move

This is an adventure book, the first of several projected as "Read a book to a kid" book -- designed to be read by a parent to his/her child or children. At the end of each chapter is a short list of questions to develop retention skills, and to encourage dialogue between parent and child.

This book is about Harry, a four year old. From birth, he's been living in Chicago in a nice Brownstone . . . but, his folks just bought a small farm in Wisconsin, and are about to move out of the city. Harry is all excited! The most exciting thing: he's promised a puppy!

Harry's parents teach him valuable lessons in social interaction, proper behavior, and a spiritual foundation. His parents are teaching him well, even calling him out publically (but kindly) when foolishness comes out of his mouth.

In his Chicago Brownstone, Harry had but one young friend; here on the farm he has already made friends with four or five neighbor children, and there will be more.

Sharing responsiblities is necessary in a rural atmosphere. As the family farm broadens it's scope of industry, Harry finds farmlife comes with chores, sometimes unpleasant -- like rising before the sun comes up. But he looks forward to each day with a willing attitude.
