Growing Farm

Having even more colorful photos than the first audiobook edition, Griselda the Toulouse Goose is about being celebrated, not just tolerated. It explores how one can feel when they are excluded and also offers hope for anyone who has ever felt left out. In Griselda’s case, she is ignored by a group of geese who are supposed to embrace her, but winds up expanding her territory because of it. Looking back on things, she isn’t bitter, and even wishes them well. She learns that the recipe for success often begins with disaster, that her future can rewrite her past....

Ballet Cat and her cousin Goat are preparing a show for Grandma. Each is trying to outdo the other - Ballet Cat with an elaborate dance routine (of course) and Goat with his amazing (amazingly lame, that is) magic tricks. Neither act goes off quite as planned, but it doesn't matter...because Grandma falls asleep during the performance! Oh well. At least Ballet Cat and Goat learn how to cooperate. (But Ballet Cat cooperates better!)

Newborn lamb Finn, raised inside the farmhouse, isn't as big and strong as the other animals on the farm. He can't help but be frightened as he ventures outside and encounters unfamiliar sights, sounds, and creatures. With the help of Farmer John and his animal friends, Little Finn learns to be brave and mighty.

It's Valentine's Day, and on the farm that means a Valentine's party. Little Duck is wildly excited. She hangs balloons, streamers, sparkling lights, and hearts everywhere, and she hand-makes a valentine for everyone. On top of a hill, a little fox hears the music from the party and follows Little Duck's many decorations to the barn...but foxes are not at all welcome on farms. The chickens stop dancing. The sheep stop dancing. The pigs stop dancing. The mice hustle off to hide. Will Little Fox ruin the dance?

J.J. Tully is a former search-and rescue dog who is trying to enjoy his retirement after years of performing daring missions saving lives. So he's not terribly impressed when two chicks named Dirt and Sugar (who look like popcorn on legs) and their chicken mom show up demanding his help to track down their missing siblings. But driven by the promise of a cheeseburger, J.J. begins to track down clues.

Jo-Jo is a very unhappy donkey who carries melons to the markets of Venice, Italy, every day, until his friendship with the daughter of the Doge leads him to become a hero.
