The Adventures of Spuddy and Biscotti: Big Farm Adventure! by Linda Collins (Linda Collins/Lightning Source, 2026, $13.99, ages 3-7, 40 pp PB)(Every grandmother should also be a children's book author, don't you agree?) (sneak peek here)
Spuddy and Biscotti* are the cutest little goat kids you have ever seen!
One day they wander around their farm meeting all the animals and trying them out - do what they do, try to 'say' what they say. And is that ever funny! First they meet the chickens and the cows and the pigs and the ducks. Then they can't forget the sheep, a horse, an apple tree, and - look out for the sheepdog who returns them to home, all tuckered out and ready for bed.
Spud and Biscotti help youngsters learn their animals** and learn about their animals in a fun way but realistic. And for you pooped parents out there, reading to the littles, it may be possible to cut out an animal or two to make for a shorter good-night story, but don't tell the kids this!

*One little goat is brown and the other is black. Which do you think is which?
**There are plenty of animals on each page for young readers to identify them several times, thus making learning quicker.
