Farmer Palmer (a pig) and his hired hand, Ebenezer ( a donkey) begin the day early as they travel to the market to sell leeks, turnips and lettuce. After a successful selling day, Farmer Palmer proceeds to purchase gifts for his family members and Ebenezer. On the way home, the day does not go as smoothly as one event after another occur forcing them to problem solve in some unconventional ways.
I liked the word choice.
I love most of William Steig's books and own a few of them so I was excited to find this copy at our library's book sale (fill a bag for $1.00). I am, however, not keeping it. See "warning".
Strategy: expanding vocabulary
Warning: Word a** is used many times in reference to Ebenezer.
