Farmer and Mrs. Bill live happily on their farm with their crowing rooster, their clucking chickens, their woolly sheep, and their fat cows. But one day, Farmer and Mrs. Bills son, Little Bill, comes to visit his parents from the big city. He arrives in a flashy car and immediately sets about trying to make his parents lives easier with improvements to the farm. Life at the farm will never be the same! Annoyed with the rooster who crows so early in the morning, he buys an alarm clock. The rooster sadly leaves for his Aunt Matildas. He invents an Amazing Milk Maker to produce milk three times faster than the cows. The cows leave the farm to take up golf. On and on it goes, until there are no animals left on the farm. Will Farmer and Mrs. Bill ever be able to convince their animal friends to return? Bursting with the exuberant art of award-winning author and illustrator Matthew Fernandes, Farmer Bill is a wonderful tale that will help kids appreciate the simple things in life.
