McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm by Sid Fleischman illustrated by Quentin Blake*

Three tall tales told from Farmer McBroom's point of view.
Humorous stories about the family's fertile one acre farm and how they often outsmart their mean neighbor Mr. Heck Jones and the weather.
*Highly recommend.
Both my boys enjoyed these tales.  My eight year old read the book to himself and was eager to listen to the tales again when I read it aloud to my six year old.
