這本書描寫的是居住在廢棄己久的農場上的一群小動物，當他們得知有新的一戶人家即將搬進農場時，心情是既興奮又害怕，高興的是，如果搬進來的人能好好的經營農場，那麼他們就不需要再擔心食物的問題；害怕的是也許會給他們帶來其他的威脅。這本書就是在描寫這群小動物那種即期待又怕受偒害的心情，以及後來新的農場主人搬進來之後發生在他們之間的一些小故事。從此書中可以看出人類跟動物其實是可以和平共處的。適合12歲以上兒童閱讀。It has been a while since Folks lived in the Big House, and an even longer time has passed since there has been a garden at the House. All the animals of the Hill are very excited about the new Folks moving in, and they wonder how things are going to change. It’s only a matter of time before the animals of the Hill find out just who is moving in, and they may be a little bit surprised when they do. |
