The Barnyard Games

From the author of The Paper Bag Princesses; Benedict & Arnold, A Squirrels' Race to be Mayor; and Clara's Christmas Countdown comes THE BARNYARD GAMES. It's an imaginative and beautifully illustrated story about farm animals who come from farms near and far to run, jump, wrestle, and paddle in the first annual barnyard games. Are you ready to share the olympicesque excitement of the games with the chickens, cows, bulls, ducks, goats and turkeys? Well, Chelsea Chick is over-the-moon excited about the games and she wants to race, now. She has waited all year to participate in the "games," and she's tired of waiting for Maximilian the Rooster to start the games. Unfortunately, Maximilian doesn't exactly share her over-the-top enthusiasm. So, she bugs him.

The Barnyard Games is a good-time celebration of farm animals having loads of fun and being good sports. And, they are competing just for the thrill of it all; and, okay, maybe winning, too-but no ribbons, medals or prizes.

Now, it's your chance to sit down, read and cheer along with the cows, too.
