Rod and Staff Books & More

A sweet story in poetic form tells of the early morning sounds on a farm. The young farm boy, still in bed, is frightened at first when the noises waken him.

The beautiful pictures plus the lessons taught at the end makes this book a delight to share with any age child.

As the shadows of the night
Faded in the morning light,

In the misty, dewy chill
Ev'rything was calm and still.

In the orchard's shadows deep
Lay a flock of restful sheep,

Where, for fun, throughout the day
Fleecy lambkins romp and play.

From beside a pond nearby
Came a sudden quiv'ry cry,

For a raccoon made his way
Through the wet and sticky clay.
