Topsy and Tim: At the Farm

Topsy and Tim: At the Farm

Summary

Topsy and Tim are always finding fun adventures in the real world, and this story is reassuring for young children having first experiences of their own.

In Topsy and Tim At the Farm, the children meet all kinds of interesting animals. They help collect eggs from the chickens, and find some little ducklings learning how to swim. They are a little bit frightened when they get chased by some large geese, but Farmer Stewart soon finds them a nice job to do, helping to feed a calf.
