Valorie Could you find bats on a farm? Maybe in a big barn on a farm? Would that work?

We do have bats in our barn...but we are also near to where there are both bears and wolves...which are much easier than finding cows, pigs, or sheep in a PN book!


message 15: by Valorie (new)

Valorie Thanks Dobarah! I agree about the difficulty finding a farm animal in PN book too!

message 18: by Laura Lulu (new)

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) I'm maybe in, I'm having a hard time with a food on the cover book. I have so many challenges going on that I pretty much know all the books I have to read before the end of the year and it's steadily approaching. And nothing on my list has food on the cover. :)

As far as a book with a farm animal, how about horses? There are tons of books with horses, it just depends on whether or not you'd like to read something historical or straight fantasy. Both are chock full of horses. :)

Valorie I just started Sleeping with the Fishes by Mary Janice Davidson and it has food on the cover if anyone is still looking. The mermaid on the cover has a box of chocolates she is eating. It seems to be a cute, fun, quick read. Here is the cover if anyone is interested...
