Pony Cart Adventure

Hurst Elva

Description

When eleven-year-old Elva finally finishes her chores on this beautiful summer morning, she hurries to the neighboring farm to see if her friend Linda can join her for an afternoon adventure. Come on along with the young Mennonite girls as they hitch up the pony, climb into the cart, and trot down the drive for a day filled with unexpected excitement.This charming story, the first in the Farm Life Series, is based on author Elva Hurst's growing-up years on the family farm and written for children from seven to eleven years old. Reminiscent of days gone by, this simple tale is full of good-hearted fun.

These true stories recall my happy childhood days growing up in a large, loving Mennonite family. We lived in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in a community made up of many Amish and other Mennonite families who shared the big and small events of our lives.
