This book is about the animals on a farm and how they all learn to get along with each other. Each animal thinks he is the most important and offers the most to the farmer. At the end of the story we see that each animal has an important role and by working together they make the farm more productive. This book can be used to discuss the importance of working together for a goal. What are the jobs of the animals on the farm? What are our jobs at home and in school?
