Excerpt from Rural Rhymes, and Poems From the Farm: Being a Collection of Poems, Grave, Humorous, Didactic, Sentimental and Descriptive, Written at Different Times and Under Different Circumstances Far from the city's noisy din, Far from its bustle and alarm, We had our being first within The limits of an humble farm. From out its cool, sequestered shade, In different ways at different times, We came; and when together laid Are simply styled the Rural Rhymes. From out a toiling farmer's brain We had our birth. - No matter when, If we can your attention chain, And edify the minds of men And though we may not soar as high As Milton's thoughts in former times, Oh I let it be no reason why You should not read the Rural Rhymes.

From out a toiling farmer's brain We had our birth. - No matter when, If we can your attention chain, And edify the minds of men; And though we may not soar as high As Milton's thoughts in former times, Oh! let it be no reason why You should not read the "Rural Rhymes." And though we may not live as did Old Homer's verse and Ossian's lays, Let not our simple truths be hid By greater names of other days. Though thousand years we may not live, As poems have from Eastern climes, May we a transient pleasure give To those who read the "Rural Rhymes."

Here’s a perfect introduction to our farm friends. Is there anything cuter than a little lamb or playful piglet? Farm animals are fascinating, and they are full of surprises, too. Naturally, cows make milk—but did you know they need to drink a bathtub-full of water every day? And of course the turkeys gobble—but sometimes they purr like cats. Wendell Minor’s bright, bold artwork and jaunty verse celebrate the wonders of our farm friends.
Papa Is a Poet: is a picture book about the famous American poet Robert Frost, imagined through the eyes of his daughter Lesley. When Robert Frost was a child, his family thought he would grow up to be a baseball player. Instead, he became a poet. His life on a farm in New Hampshire inspired him to write "poetry that talked," and today he is famous for his vivid descriptions of the rural life he loved so much. There was a time, though, when Frost had to struggle to get his poetry published. Told from the point of view of Lesley, Robert Frost's oldest daughter, this is the story of how a lover of language found his voice.
