The Trudy Books are living accounts of daily life on an actual farm. On this farm some animals have been rescued. Many have been donated to great organizations. There are horses, some goats, dogs and other kinds of animals. Family children barrel race and do shows. The ranch is always full of much bustle and fun. These stories are told as if the authors oldest Jack Rat is telling the story. Her name is Trudy. She lives with her brother Wyatt, her sisters Lucy and Betsy. She also has a son named Wil who lives with her. In the yard there is a big white German shepherd named Vanna. Trudy deals with over fifty horses everyday. Funny as it may seem, this dog has her own pony named Snowball and she rides him at home or in a show. Between the funny things these beautiful dogs do and the author's sense of humor, you will find Paw Pals a most enjoyable read for both you and your children.
