A beautiful and humorous alphabetic journey through America's present-day farmland. On today's farm, B is for barn cat...E is for erosion...G is for grinding feed, and I is for...inoculate? In 26 beautifully detailed spreads, acclaimed illustrator Arthur Geisert takes readers on a literal journey following a real road in Iowa (County Road Y31) through the ins and outs of America's farmland. This isn't your grandfather's farm book. It still features pigs, hay, and other familiar farm residents, but you'll see a very different kind of quicksand and traffic jam here...Along the bottom of each page is a continuous panorama that totals nearly forty feet of art. Country Road ABC is a unique and funny look at America's present-day farmland. AUTHOR Arthur Geisert is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including Hogwash, Oops, and The Giant Ball of String. he presently lives in Iowa, where he became good friends with many farmers and their families as he researched this book.
