A Real Farm Girl is a glorious reading experience for a young girl or boy. Its action occurs on an old-fashioned farm complete with chamber pots under the bed, chickens laying eggs for young girls to gather, weasels to prey on the chickens, barn cats, pigs, cows to milk, and even a bull. Young Mary's dad is away at war so she spends time on her grandmother's farm where she learns farm ways so she can prove she belongs." - Karen Shewbridge, The St. John's Telegram
