Clarabelle: Making Milk and So Much More
Clarabelle: Making Milk and So Much More, by Cris Peterson, features Clarabelle and her calf on a large, modern-day Wisconsin farm. Peterson describes the latest technology
that enables farmers to create energy and other by-products from their herds. Vibrant close-up photographs by David Lundquist are great for the kindergarten through third grade
age group.



Farmer George Plants a Nation
Farmer George Plants a Nation, by Peggy Thomas, is about George Washington - a general, the first president
of the United States and a farmer. Through Washington's letters, fourth and fifth graders can learn how his efforts
to create a self-sufficient farm mirrored his struggle to create a free nation.
