A Day in the Life of Murphy
by Alice Provensen
"Murphy-Stop-That is my name. I am a terrier. I bark. I bark at anything and everything and all the time." As he goes through his day -- barking, eating, outsmarting the dumb animals on the farm, putting up with a visit to the vet -- Murphy never loses his doggy enthusiasm, even when he has to sleep out in the barn. In her charming new tale, acclaimed author and illustrator Alice Provensen shows that every dog -- even a bad dog -- has his day.

Tooter Pepperday
by Jerry Spinelli
Illustrated in black-and-white. Tooter was your average suburban kid, until her parents made her move to Aunt Sally's farm. It's not just that the pizzeria won't deliver--the vegetables on her plate were grown in a pile of compost, and everything smells like goat poop! But spunky Tooter has big plans for getting even--sabotage!
Country Living Seasons at Seven Gates Farm
by Mary Seehafer Sears
Inspired by the storybook home of the beloved Scandinavian artist Carl Larsson, Wisconsin native Loran Nordgren realized a dream of twenty years: the building of a magnificent home in an idyllic, rural corner of the state. It is a glorious place--of soaring ceilings and intimate rooms, of open views from room to room, of viewing lofts and internal balconies--where a family can gather, share good times, and also find solace and solitude. A virtual village, the Nordgren compound includes a main house, family cottage, and a storehouse clustered around a central courtyard. The dazzling photographs of the Nordgren home reveal its influences: the clean lines and colors of Scandinavian interiors. Nordgren commissioned award-winning designer Lou Heiser to build the house, and the Scandinavian artisan tradition graces every aspect of Heiser's design, including the lovingly hand-painted stencils and scrollwork details on the exteriors, the hand-carved woodwork, and the stenciling and murals throughout the main house. This unique home deftly melds such traditional elements as built-in beds, carved exterior decorations, cedar closets, and a sod roof, with such 20th century conveniences as exterior trim specially treated to stand up to the elements, sophisticated lighting, and the latest appliances and fixtures. The story of how a dream became a reality, The Scandinavian Look prodigiously details every aspect of the creative process, from idea to design and construction. This book can serve as a guide for those who are thinking of building their own dream house; if your goals are more modest, and you'd like to know how to choose a color palette or how to do decorative panting, there is a wealth of information to be found here. Country by Design: The Scandinavian Look launches a series of exceptional home design books which deliver a blend of inspiration, a depth of design and cultural background, and instructive, practical information on the building of exceptional homes.
