In over his head with two pigs, a dozen chickens, and a baby due any minute, the acclaimed author of Population: 485 gives us a humorous, heartfelt memoir of a new life in the country.

Living in a ramshackle Wisconsin farmhouse--faced with thirty-seven acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields, and informed by his pregnant wife that she intends to deliver their baby at home--Michael Perry plumbs his unorthodox childhood for clues to how to proceed as a farmer, a husband, and a father.

Whether he's remembering his younger days--when his city-bred parents took in sixty or so foster children while running a sheep and dairy farm--or describing what it's like to be bitten in the butt while wrestling a pig, Perry flourishes in his trademark humor. But he also writes from the quieter corners of his heart, chronicling experiences as joyful as the birth of his child and as devastating as the death of a dear friend.

Fantastic toy
Format: Board book
Such a perfect book for little train lovers. I don’t see any issues with it. My 3 year old son loves to read it every night. The train doesn’t really come off the track, but if I’m holding the book on my lap, I’ll move the book around to help it slide along. It’s bigger than I expected from the pictures, but that was definitely a good thing. So happy with this purchase.

GREAT gift for my 4 year old who loves trains. He got a lot of gifts for Christmas but this one is probably his favorite. It is also easy to take with you if you travel. Fun, entertaining and educational with facts about famous trains. Definitely recommend it!
