From the time I was little, I loved reading. My favorite books were those centered around animals, whether they were funny, sad, educational, or a little of each. These books open windows into worlds filled with hard work, adventures, and connections to the lifestyle we all love. Here’s a roundup of some great books for children – I’m betting that you’ve read or heard of more than a few!
“Little House on the Prairie” by Laura Ingalls Wilder
A classic in children’s literature, “Little House on the Prairie” chronicles the life of the Ingalls family as they navigate the challenges and rewards of frontier life. The series, based on Wilder’s own experiences, paints a vivid picture of pioneer living, including farming and homesteading. It’s an excellent introduction to the historical aspects of farming and rural life in America.
“Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White
“Charlotte’s Web” is a beloved tale that highlights the simple yet profound happenings on a farm. Through the friendship between Wilbur, a pig, and Charlotte, a spider, children learn about farm animals, life cycles, and the values of friendship and perseverance. E.B. White’s gentle storytelling and rich characterizations make it a timeless read.

Summertime style but make it western! You don’t have to forgo a fun statement style because it’s hot. A good denim-on-denim look is always a safe bet, just make this look a little more suitable for the sun with a good pair of denim shorts and a denim vest.This vest can be worn and styled many ways.
