Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Hawthorne Farm is a funny farm, a good-humored farm, a farm that is chock full of fun!

Award-winning author/illustrator Mark Teague creates a farm with a sense of humor. Readers will laugh out loud when Cousin Edward arrives from the city to help out on the farm. The cows, pigs, and sheep have been waiting for Cousin Edward to visit Hawthorne Farm. The fun is never ending as Edward tries his best to milk the cows, tend the sheep, feed the pigs, plant the garden, and much more. It is truly a day that Edward will never forget!

Review:

"When Edward, a city-slicker dog, arrives at his canine relatives' farm for a visit, Teague provides the perfect setup for this goofily sweet fish-out-of-water tale. As fans familiar with the antics of Teague's other pooch — Ike from the Dear Mrs. LaRue books — might expect, the narrative nature of the crisp oil illustrations reveals a much more entertaining version of the story than does the straightforward text. The line, 'In the woods, Edward helps make maple syrup,' accompanies a spread showing Edward stumbling through a clearing with his paw stuck in a bucket. And when 'Edward and Judy go outside to tend the sheep,' Edward is shown petrified, having somehow hooked the leg of one unhappy looking ram. Young readers will find plenty to revisit in the humorous bucolic scenes of barnyard creatures at work and play. And though Edward never quite gets the hang of farm chores, kids will take heart that his bemused hosts are ever-tolerant of his botched efforts. Ages 4 — 8." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

An award-winning author/illustrator invites readers to join Edward as he pitches in with the chores on his first visit to Hawthorne Farm--where the pigs play practical jokes, the sheep brush their teeth before grazing, and the mice churn their own butter. Full color.
