I Live in a Tree Trunk by Meg Fleming
I live in a tree trunk. I live in a barn. I live in a shoebox. I’m down on the farm… So say the animals (and much more) of I Live in a Tree Trunk.

And I found six titles that By George the III! Are pretty darn good. Each of these is a Third or a 3 rating. Not OMG but books I will gladly recommend and might just read a second time. Here Comes Ocean by Meg Fleming (author) […]
