Title: Corn Farm Boy - Lois Lenski
Review: This is a wonderful book about farm life in the 1950's, written from the viewpoint of a 12 year old boy, called here Dick. He does all the things farm kids did in those days. He fakes sickness so he can be home when the new tractor drives in the lane, rides the cows, makes pets of everything, falls in the creek. His dad farms on the contour and the neighbors think he is crazy. Lois was in the habit of visiting the homes of children in whatever part of the country she wrote about, got to know the kids by staying with them a spell, and then wrote about them. I highly recommend all the Lois Lenski regional books.
