Holidays at the Farm

Stories about father, mother, grandmother, eight children, and a truck have long been loved by our readers. Since 1962, when the first book from this cycle was published in our country, fun and educational tales about a large family—where, despite difficulties, no one ever loses heart—are constantly reissued. They are enjoyed not only by children but also by adults, because without preaching or moralizing, life’s lessons are presented with humor.

The novella "Holidays in the Barn" tells how a large family, moving in their beloved truck from a cramped city apartment to a spacious country home, settled into their new place.
