Secret of the Pasture from Willow Creek Press is a nice little book.  It is the story of Piglet who wakes up and can’t find Belle, the horse who sleeps in the stable next to him.  Piglet journeys around the farm, trying to find Belle, encountering all sorts of farm animals from cows to ducks to chicks to cats and dogs.  The book also captures the open feeling of the countryside, the amazing blue of the sky next to the green of the crops.  I liked that it uses photographs combined with simple text, making it very inviting to children, especially boys who will enjoy the nonfiction feel of the book.  This one is great for farm storytimes for small ones or for beginning readers to try on their own.
