Hurry!

Nora & her grandparents must bring in the hay before a summer storm ruins it.

A while ago Grandpa & Nora cut the fields of hay, & now it is drying in the fields, when they watch the dark clouds of a summer rainstorm head their way.

Exquisitely illustrated with Joseph A. Smith's watercolor paintings, this old-time farming family, driving a wagon drawn by two mighty horses, Hurry! has all the ingredients of a well-loved family treasure ... a strong, little girl who understands the need to work, who helps hold the horses' reins, & then protects the precious load as rain begins to fall.

City or country kids (3-8 years of age) & their parents will enjoy this old-time tale.

Very well done!
