Buster on the Farm by Marc Brown

Rachel's comments:


Buster Baxter, of Arthur fame, has his own series of early readers called Postcards from Buster. In this series, Buster visits several places and sends tales of his adventures via postcard to his friend Arthur. Buster on the Farm chronicles Buster’s visit to a farm in Indiana. On his friend’s Lauren’s farm, Buster rides a tractor, gathers eggs, milks cows, bales hay, goes to a county fair. The book contains a glossary to explain some more difficult words for beginning readers and has a page with a few facts about the state of Indiana. Buster’s blog on PBS further describes his visit to Lauren’s farm in Knox, Indiana and the Indiana State fair. You can find his blog at http://pbskids.org/buster/blog/in_knox_bl.html
