Discover the Farm

Little Thunder had a brand-new field guide. Every page was empty.

"Let's fill it up!" he said.

"There are seven farm spots to explore," said Suzy. "Each one has hidden animals and true facts."

At the dam, they found a frog on a lily pad. "Frogs can breathe through their skin," said Spike.

In the orchard, a parrot nibbled an apple. In the hay shed, a tiny mouse peeked out.

Down by the creek, a platypus paddled past. "Platypuses lay eggs!" said Suzy.

In the vegetable patch, a blue-tongue lizard sunbaked on a rock. At the chook pen, a hen sat on her nest.

The last spot was the big paddock. There stood Nairobi the cow, munching grass.

"Cows have four parts to their tummies," said Spike.

Little Thunder drew every animal in his guide. Then he gave each one a name.

"Freddie the frog, Polly the parrot and Penny the platypus," he said.

He shut his guide with a happy smile. "This is the best book on the whole farm!"
