"Cows that type? Hens on strike! Whoever heard of such a thing!" Farmer Brown cries. When his granddaughter Jenny comes for a visit, Farmer Brown declared the farm a "tech-free zone." He confiscates her laptop in the cold barn along with the shivering cows who use her computer to type messages requesting blankets. "No way," replies Farmer Brown. "No blankets!" So the cows go on strike and the chickens join them in solidarity. No blankets: no milk, no eggs! Will Farmer Brown give in to the animals' demands? Will Jenny get her computer back? Find out in a hilariously "mooooo-ving" new musical about negotiation and compromise, based on the Caldecott Honor Book by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin. Grades Pre-K - 4.

PATCHWORK: THE LITTLE HOUSE LIFE OF LAURA INGALLS WILDER

Laura Ingalls Wilder's tales of outdoor adventure and pioneer spirit will inspire your children as they have millions of boys and girls for over 70 years. Born in 1867, Laura traveled across America's rolling plains in the back of a covered wagon. The Wilders created patchwork quilts that would later help inspire her time-honored books. Laura's quilts still exist today, and their patterns recall her beloved family ­ her strong and caring Pa, her heroic sister Mary, her warm-hearted Ma ­ and their adventures as they crossed the wild and often perilous frontier. Join the Ingalls in this adventure as they face the hardships and the triumphs of the wondrous new land, with sometimes only their faith and the love of family to sustain them. Grades K - 5.
