Two of a series of six titles featuring Farmer George, his wife Dotty and their animals. In Snowstorm , Farmer George rescues a frozen Larry (lamb) with the help of Tam (sheepdog) and Sidney (carthorse) and nurses him back to health while in Piglet , the said animal’s fear of the dark leads to sleepless nights until Perry discovers the joys of mud.
Designed for adult/nursery infant sharing, these books with their well-drawn and painted, unsophisticated illustrations (drawn with TV in mind?) and the final activity spread in each title offer a mildly diverting but untaxing read.
