Make room in your beach bag for this great summer read

A timeless American classic and one of the most beloved children’s books ever written, Old Yeller is a Newbery Honor Book that explores the poignant and unforgettable bond between a boy and the stray dog who becomes his loyal friend.

When his father sets out on a cattle drive toward Kansas for the summer, fourteen-year-old Travis Coates is left to take care of his family and their farm. Living in Texas Hill Country during the 1860s, Travis comes to face new, unanticipated, and often perilous responsibilities in the frontier wilderness.

A particular nuisance is a stray yellow dog that shows up one day and steals food from the family. But the big canine who Travis calls “Old Yeller” proves his worth by defending the family from danger. And Travis ultimately finds help and comfort in the courage and unwavering love of the dog who comes to be his very best friend.

Fred Gipson’s novel is an eloquently simple story that is both exciting and deeply moving. It stands alongside works like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Where The Red Fern Grows, and Shiloh as a beloved and enduring classic of literature. Originally published in 1956 to instant acclaim, Old Yeller later inspired a hit film from Walt Disney. Just as Old Yeller inevitably makes his way into the Coates family’s hearts, this book will find its own special place in readers’ hearts.

Pierre the pink pig (Pierre le cochon rose) teaches his farmyard friends French.

Pierre was a little pink pig, raised in the South of France.
He liked to play, and eat croissants, and in the mud he’d dance.
His elderly farmer, Madame Delphine, is now too old to keep her farm.
So she seeks another home for Pierre, saving him from harm.

Upon arriving at his new home, Pierre discovers his new farmyard friends – a kindly goat, dairy cows, a grumpy cat, a tall horse, some chickens and a duck – only speak English.

So he sets about to teach them from French words, phrases and introduce them to French foods and games.
