"Gentle messaging about good manners and kindness and encourages good literacy skills through humour. ... The perfect winding down after a busy day." --The Bookbag There's so much to discover at the Farm Shop... surprising delights, new friends, and memories to last a lifetime. Kirelle and her best friend in the whole wide world, a very wise cat named Sam, happen upon the Farm Shop on a leisurely walk. To her surprise and delight, Kirelle discovers the Farm Shop is bustling with friendly farm animals offering all sorts of unique goodies from cheese quackers to Hollywood moovies ! It's so much fun to visit each stall, meet the animals, and find special gifts to take home for her friends and family. But Kirelle soon finds herself with a big problem. She's collected gifts for everyone she adores and has no money left to buy anything for herself. Clever Sam can always solve any dilemma, but it's Kirelle who realizes the solution she already holds inside. And it's a heart-warming reminder of what really matters most--and doesn't cost a thing. ************************************************************ "That happiness and joy are found as much in experiences as they are in possessions is an important life lesson. ...
