Farmer Brown's School Adventure

Farmer Brown receives an invitation from Dinkel Mayor Elementary School to bring his animals for a farm day lunch. Excited, he prepares the cows, chickens, and pigs, who have never been to school before. Each group of animals shows their excitement in their own way, but Farmer Brown reminds them that school is a quiet place. Duck meditates and helps set the rules for the visit. On the day of the visit, the animals travel quietly to school. Once there, they enjoy the lively recess, and the story ends with a thank you note from the school.
