My love of reading started when i was young, and it gives me immense pleasure to provide books to Spread the Word Nevada, an organization that passes them on to children in the community. They are a terrific organization supporting an important cause. If your local I encourage you to check them out. For those living further a field, look in your own community, their may already be a similar program in place. And if not, you can always help start one.

Myself, I go out on the weekends and
shop thrift store and bulk book lots to rescue books and donate them. Sometimes I'll find a book I remember reading when I was young and will read it again before passing it on.

I don't rate these books using my normal scale, instead I give most of them three stars. This isn't a Criticism of the book, simply my way of rating them as good for children.

This book is okay. The farmer takes waaaay too long to figure out the animal's tricks, but at least he figured it out by the end. I also didn't much like the deception the animals used to get bites of cheese. Also, it maybe wasn't 100% clear as the story was happening that each animal was taking a bite of the cheese before they left. I sort of thought they were being chased off before taking a bite.
