Description

Join the fun on the farm!

A charming story from award-winning author Michael Morpurgo, hilariously illustrated throughout by Shoo Rayner, and perfect for readers of 5 and up.
Two funny farmyard stories for younger readers.

Jiggers Day Off
Time has come for harvest, Jigger. So I shant be needing you all day. Its your day off, my dear.

Jigger the sheepdog has just one day off a year. Just one day to chase all those little animals hiding in the corn. But even the best plans go wrong

And Pigs Might Fly!
Flying was not nearly as easy as it looked. Pintsize stood up on his back trotters and flapped his front ones trotters, he thought, would do just as well as wings.

Its a long hot summer, and Pintsize the piglet wonders if it might be cooler in the sky. But when he tries to fly, he annoys just about everyone. Its time he learned his lesson
