Book Description: 
A monster at the bottom of a hill eats all of the garbage generated by the town on top of the hill.

Unfortunately, as the town grows, so does the amount of garbage the monster must consume. He gets bigger - and he starts burping. This is, as you can probably guess, a bit unsightly and stinky.

Book Description: 
Set in the Dust Bowl of the American West, Farm Girl, the true account of a child coming of age on a 1920's Nebraska farm, recaptures an era. Young Lucille Marker experiences survival during the Depression, one of the worst dust storms in history, and finally the disintegration of the close-knit community in which she grows up.
Readers who like the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder or Willa Cather will enjoy Farm Girl. Set in the locale of Willa Cather’s Nebraska novels, it includes a chapter about the Marker/Cather family connections.
Richly photographed throughout with over sixty authentic photos documenting the people and places of the story, this historical, easy-to-read small book is suitable for use in the classroom.
“Omitting sensationalized incidents and graphic sexual exploits, the book perfectly captures a young woman’s coming of age in the early decades of the 20th century. It concerns real life, relatively ordinary activities, drawn with the precision of a Norman Rockwell painting.” ~The Omaha Reader
“Through the intertwined stories of the life of the Marker family and of the broader historical time period, the book is more than captivating. Gowen’s vivid account of her mother’s life allows Farm Girl to read as seamlessly as if one were recalling personal memories.” ~The Holyoke Enterprise
“Have you thought about writing your family history, but found yourself stuck from the start? Writing a family narrative can be a daunting task, but Karen Jones Gowen found a way to bring her mother’s story to life.” ~Homespun Magazine
“Easily as good as Carol Ryrie Brink’s Caddie Woodlawn, Farm Girl is beautifully done and should be a treat for anyone who loves reading historical books. It is a book that reaches out and touches the common human experiences that everyone must go through. It is a treasure that will be enjoyed by the young and old alike.” ~McCook Daily Gazette

Book Description: 
This lovely illustrated book about the activities of Victorian children at home and at play tugged at my heart when I found it. I immediately remembered my own childhood and the differences from those of my children and grandson as they grew up. What kinds of things did children do on a daily basis in Victorian England that is different from those activities of children today? My curiosity as a child is mirrored by today’s children, even as they steer their way around fantasy worlds inhabited by fantastical characters, while playing video games for hours on end! While playing one of his games, my grandson asked me what I used to play when I was a little girl. Of course, my son wanted to tell him that I used to rub 2 sticks together to make a fire to cook for my family and our pet dinosaur, but I gave him a better idea of what life was like in the 1950’s. (Yes, I know dinosaurs and man did not walk the earth at the same time, but I did grow up watching the Flintstones!)
Since “At Home” was written in the 1880’s the world has changed drastically. The entire 20th century saw the biggest changes in history with the advent of cars and airplanes, to name but a few.
