The Live Bale of Hay

What do you do if you're a young girl chasing fireflies on your family farm when one of the hay bales in the field starts moving toward you, and you see it's a black bear? This is what happens in The Live Bale of Hay, which portrays a day in the life of a farm girl named Carol. Young readers will relive the lifestyle of rural New England, one of barn fires, lemonade stands, mowing machines and balers, and things that go bump in the night.
