Mr. Farmer's Buffet for Animals can help a child find the happiness in helping another who is less fortunate. This is a book that every parent should share with his or her child. Hopefully it will bring a message home that will inspire children to enjoy happiness by giving to others. It is great family reading that easily leads to discussions about how one person can make a change-whether it is for his or her own kind or just a hungry little squirrel. One is never too young or too old to learn to care for others.
