Cover... Related Items Children | Plain Pig is one plump little animal, fully at home on her busy
Amish farm. Plain Pig's world is filled with the boisterous barnyard creatures who occupy most Amish farmsteads, but the point of view is always Plain Pig's! Plain Pig keeps company with Clarence Calf and Hiram Horse. She hopes for a sample of ice cream and she gets within a hoof's reach of Lydia's lunch box. Plain Pig sits in puddles, tunnels through the haymow, and loses herself in mud. But the mishaps are minor. The merry moments prevail! Pudgy Plain Pig introduces the alphabet by hiding behind objects, each or which begins with a different letter--buggy, fence, milkcan, umbrella, vegetables, etc. She also introduces the Amish--those plain people who live exuberantly satisfying lives. Plain Pig opens a window to the world of buggies and quilts, windmills and washlines, pumpkin patches and zucchini hills. Benner's watercolors offer a freshly tactile little animal and an engagingly colorful world, plain though it may first appear. | |

Cover... Related Items Children | Lydia, a young Amish girl, lives on a farm in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. All summer long she has worked on a small hooked mat,
her first "piece" that must be finished before she can go to market
with her father. In spite of her best efforts, Lydia is much more interested in the wagon coming down the road; in the stories granny tells, in stopping at Cousin Lavina's, who is making apple butter; in holding the new baby at Cousin Kate's; and even in chasing Nate's runaway pig. But, finally, the roses on Lydia's hooked mat are finished. | |
