I have recommended this book a lot this month so I figured I would post it as the book of the Month. Presenting, The Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall and Pictures by Barbara Cooney. It is a wonderful story of a simple and beautiful family that worked together on their farm.
The Ox-Cart Man, was a winner of the Caldecott Medal and a title worth reading.
Some topics that can be discussed after reading this book are seasons, harvest, green living, farm life, pioneers and hobbies. I also love the illustrations in this book. Each page is filled with delicate details and bold color.
Enjoy!
