Story County: Here We Come! is the FIRST book in a new series by Derek Anderson. According to a letter from Anderson on his website, Story County is a real place. It is located right in the middle of Iowa farm country. His grandfather had a farm and Anderson has always wanted to create a book about a farm. In Story County, each character has a personality that makes them unique and more enjoyable to read. In this first book, Farmer, Dog, Pig, Chicken, and Miss Cow are ready to make a farm. The group works very hard on the farm - building, painting, planting, and yes, accessorizing as in the case of the Miss Cow and the scarecrow (see picture above).
**Side note: Just read on his site that Cynthia Lord and Anderson are working on a sequel to Hot Rod Hamster...Happy Birthday Hamster! Very excited! And I know a certain 3 year old at our house that will be VERY VERY EXCITED!!
Story: 4 Buckeye Leaves - anxious to see how this story develops!
Illustrations: 5 Buckeye Leaves (love the bright colors)
