A country girl and her floppy-eared baby goat get ready to compete at the county fair. A pair of verbs on each spread highlight the silly antics of the two kids on the farm, and despite a few messes and mishaps along the way, their parallel actions build to a joyful ending at the fair. Useful for teaching beginning readers about homonyms and comparing word concepts, the colorful and expressive art highlights the different meanings of each word. The last installment of Linda Joy Singleton's trio of books about homonyms, this picture book celebrates farm life and rural living and is a great companion title to Crane & Crane and Sun & Son.
Author
I started writing at 8 years old and when I speak to kids at schools or libraries I show them the stories I wrote as a child. I loved mystery series like Judy Bolton and Nancy Drew, and my DREAM was to write a series of my own. This happened when My Sister the Ghost was published by Avon books in 1994. Since then I’ve been fortunate to write other series like The Seer, Dead Girl trilogy, Strange Encounters, Regeneration and Curious Cat Spy Club. I recently added a mini mystery to the Curious Cat Spy Club series titled Dog Rescue Time Warp which has a surprise ending. I love hearing from fans and always write back. And I’ll send a spy activity packet to anyone that asks. Email link at www.LindaJoySingleton.com
