This is a book about farm animals, and what happens during
one year on a farm.
In January, the cows stay in the barnyard, and the chickens
don't lay many eggs. By March, you can tell spring is coming: the
barn is filled with baby animals. Month by month, the animals at
Maple Hill Farm sense the changing seasons and respond to the
changes.
Through gently humorous text and charming illustrations, Alice
and Martin Provensen capture one year at their beloved Maple Hill
Farm in a way sure to delight city slickers and country folk
alike.
